          The explanations which you have kindly
given me clear up all ambiguity as to your
former letters, and the documents which you
send, together with the statements of Dr. Hardy,
leave us no longer any apology or excuse for 
Lundgren. If he has not run off with the paltry
sum in his hands, he has at least acted most
inexcusably in imposing on Dr. Hardy, in disobeying 
instructions as to the points and time of his explorations,
and in keeping us ignorant of his movements.
So fully convinced, indeed, have I become,
from all the evidences before me, that our worst
suspicions are too well founded, that I feel
no further inducement to ferret him by advertising
him. It occurs to me that it would be a useless
trouble and expense. My greatest fear now
is that he may impose on others, and by showing
letters from yourself and one which I wrote him
at Ashville, obtain more money as he did from
Drs. Gibbes & Hardy. A letter of introduction was
furnished him, at my instance, from Dr. Drake to
Judge King of Hendersonville, N.C. on which I fear
