wits end when I telegraphed you that I wanted absolute authority to control the location and that I wanted authority to draw on you for twenty thousand Dollars I took care that this should leak pretty thoroughly and I think by Monday we shall close this satisfactorily they are frightend some to day and will [bleed?] as freely as you require. I took the liberty to tell Taylor not to do any more with the Sulphur Spring property until I heard from you. this I intended as a blinder. there are some parties interested in that thing that I fear he does not know. Shall I return my Engineering vouchers to Mr Henry - You had better make some arrangement for kianizing Ties if you can in this no time should be lost - Shall I continue to draw on you for Engineering expenses - Respectfully Yours Peter a. Dey
