New York, March 3.
My Dear Pike:
I reckon that rumor lies this time too. I don't know, of course; but I should
need to have strong evidence to make me believe those letters were puffs for lobby
use. However, if there is any proof let us have it.
I wish you would come back and go to work here again. Horace
rather sweats under the toil, and cries for help now and then. You might as
well stay here till the first of June as not.
Yours faithfully,
C. A. Dana.
