Leland Stanford Papers

potential to have formed any definite judgement. But I am convinced that the interests of the stockholders of the Central Pacific requires fuller consideration than they have so far received: the all important matter to them is not what the Government will be content with, but what will be their interest in the property, after the proposed settlement is effected: on this point your report for the year gives no information, nor have I personally ever obtained any satisfactory assurances from the Southern Pacific board. At present the Company is tacitly pledged to accept the [Frye?] bill as some modification of it, which in my opinion will in a few years again plunge the Company

Friend Mark,

I am very glad to learn that you have secured the Larkin stock. With that out of the way there does not seem to me to be much danger of combinations, you will find on my desk letter from [illegible] titling about the filing of the bill. [Just?] now it seems to me we had better hold still for some proposition from [Brauman?]

When he serves the papers we shall probably find good cause for not answering immediately. In the first place we shall probably [--need--] find it advisable to move for a change of venue. I have [illegible] nothing [--new--] especially new since my arrival here.

Yours truly

Leland Stanford

From Leland Stanford July 5. 1870 Glad Larkin's stock is [secured?]. Nothing new of [Bren...? Brown...?] matter.
