C.P. Huntington
to
Leland Stanford
24 Oct 1873.

Von Hoffman tell me they have written
Belloc Freres to see you about C.P.RR
earnings & when we can pay balance
due them

Have told them our floating debt is
about $ 300,000 which we intend
to pay from earnings

Thinks can get them to carry balance

We must provide for Jany, interest &
you must not promise too much

Deposit the 20,000 at once. See my
dispatch of 23rd to Hopkins

Must have some to pay current &
bills payable here
