Raleigh 8 Sept 1865

My dear Sir

I rec'd yours by Gov' Manly
this morning. I am more confirmed
in my opinion as to the expediency
of selling your and Mildred's
State Bonds, from recent developments--
& on consultation with
Gov. Manly he concurs in opinion
& gives as an additional reason
the State of feeling manifested
in the [?] part of the State
on the Subjects of repudiation
of the State debt-- If you think it
desirable that I should get
to New York for the purpose of
affecting the sale I am perfectly
willing to do so-- you can
bring down your Bonds with
you when you come & we
will confer more about it.
