Albany Saturday,
My dear Gus,
From all I can
learn, I think you cannot do
better than to buy New York
Central Rail Road Stock which
is selling now at 88 to 90 c
Holders are anticipating a rise
and there is not a great
amount in market. But
$500 worth can be had in
Wall Street any day. Write
Mr Blatchford
Birth: 1798-04-23 Death: 1875-09-04
(R.M.) or
Mr Draper
Birth: 1795-04-14 Death: 1866-11-06
to get it for you,
and to draw on you for the amount.
If they cannot do it themselves
they will refer you to some one
who can. If you buy, probably
the sooner you send the better,
as it is not likely to go lower
just now.
Affectionately yours
Frederick W. Seward
If they can draw on you for
the money within a short time
of course, they can obtain the
stock in better terms, than if
payment must delayed.
