Letter from Horace Sunderlin Eldredge, 4 August 1853
St Louis Mo
Bro W Woodruff
Dear Sir
Yours of the 28th June
is at hand, and I think if my memory
Serves me, I gave you the information you
desire in a former letter or at least all the
information that I am in possession of with
re gard to Wm E. Horner. However in case
that I should be mistaken about it or that
Letter should not reach you I will Just Say
that on my way from Counsel Bluffs to St Jo
I Saw Mr Horner near the Nichnebotney River
in charge of a drove of cattle for Middleton &
Riley and was expecting to start in a few days
across the plains; this I think was the 8th of July
and previous to my receivin a letter from
Your friends in Portland Me on the subject
therefore I said nothing to him about it
I wrote your friends and gave them what information
I was in possession of with regard to it and I think
I done the same to you, but on the account of a
crowd of business and a multiplicity of business
not being able to copy my letters, I may be mistaken
Mr Horner will probably be in the Valey this
