Mark Hopkins

Enclosed find my check on the Bank of California payable to your order for the sum of ($125,000.00) one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars.

Charley writes that he needs that amount. I raised to day $60,000.00 at 1 percent of the House of Davidson & Co. I am much pleased with this as it may lead to further negotiations. I have tried them before but could never get any encouragement.

Davidson I believe so no longer in the Company here. This house is agent for the Rostchchilds. I have had a very satisfactory talk with them and shall drop in and see them again

Yours truly

Leland Stanford

P.S. Bragg dont know any thing further about fences than that they did not sell any to the Freeport Land Co.

The Navigation Co say that they will refer the water matter to Redington with full authority to do as he pleases
