Dear Governor: So many items mentioning your name and mine have lately appeared in the daily papers that some of our friends think it would be well for me to write you a letter. Hence, this communication, although I do not apprehend any danger that you and I will be put in a hostile attitude in our business--or, for that matter, personal--relations; but the intervention of others who do not altogether understand our difference may tend to separate our friends. Our views when at variance have been freely expressed and it is needless to allude to them further than to say that we have each of us agreed to disagree. The remarks that I recently made at the Southern Pacific Board meeting were intended only as a reasonable expression of

my views upon these subjects. My words, and especially the phrase which relates to campaign uses of company's funds, or, as I expressed it, "putting hands into the Treasury of the Company to defeat the people's choice" have been construed in some quarters as a personal attack on you. Allow me to say that I greatly regret this impression since I did not intend to make such attack or to charge that you had used the company's money to advance your personal interests or in any improper manner, and I am satisfied that you have not done so. Allow me also to express the wish that our relations may continue as friendly hereafter as they have been heretofore.
Yours very truly, C. P. Huntington
