Yours recd. Well every man in the Co. have throwed up there tail but good old staying Salsbury. I cant hear a word from Alger— only when he wires for money. I have beged him to let me know who the Co. owe so I could give them my personal note. No one will let me know what the pay roll will be up to Nov 3d. I think Alger is playing me a dirty stinking trick— When I am the only Man he has to depend on for money. You see I dont know who he has paid & how much the Co owe. He wont even acknowlige receipt of money I sent him. I tell you bankruptcy stares us in the face— Salsbury says

Will you do this? You can give me some idea of the amount of money it will take—
