Letter from Ilus Fabyan Carter, 14 March 1855
Portland
Bro. Wilford
Your favor of the 1st Jany. is
just recd. containing Draft for 1302, is in
the Treasurer at Washington. Shall
forward at over for collection and
will write you the result. I certainly
think you have been very successful under
the circumstances in closing up that affair
with Horner. I enclosed a little
Draft on the young mans's Mother in Conn.
Ms. Bingham which she declined
paying for $105—Not knowing whether
you had recd or not, I refer to it
I am very sorry to hear that there was a
little collision between the soldiers and
citizens on Christmas day, for such things
are so much magnified and so
much talk made about them.
I hope you will have no more trouble with
them, but be enabled to live in happiness
peace and prosperity. We have nothing
new with us of interest, our present adminis
tration is becoming very unpopular. All as
well as usual, will write you again soon.
excuse this hasty scroll & oblige.
Very Truly yours I. F. Carter
