general talk with the Colonel, remarking to them that I was in the same boat and desirous of knowing where we stood and upon what we could depend.

But I feel that I am seriously embarassed and handicapped in my position. Of the great number of men I know and have had business with in the past few years, and whom I think I have brought into friendly relations with our interests, it is impossible for me to send all of them to Stow. Large numbers call upon me daily, only a portion of whom I refer to him. Haymond informed me last week repeatedly that he was doing nothing politically whatever except to invariably send men who came to him to Mr. Stow. He was doing this and nothing more. This was said in the presence of Col. Crocker and Haymond advised me to do accordingly. But I am not satisfied with this kind of work for myself as there are many men I can reach who would it would be impossible for Mr.Stow or anyone else to control.
I have been informed and I believe it possible, and even probable that a close watch is kept upon the building, the waiting room, etc. as to who, how many, and the objects of the visits to me. This, however, does not deter me from discharging my duty to the Company, nor do I intend that it shall in the future.
