Burlington, October 25, '60.
I know I may assume
without vanity that you will be sorry to hear I have resigned my place on B.
& M. — I know it because I am sorry myself to tell you so, though I am
changing to a business which has always had the strongest attractions for me.
I have never got
over the "iron-fever," and when a place was offered me at Mt. Savage,
though the pecuniary prospect was no better than at Burlington, the chance to
become an iron-master was too good to be refused.
