Letter

READ, Paris to Bancroft Davis, August 18, 1870

[Telegram.]

Mr. Read to Mr. Davis.

Cannot get gold; silver only can be bad. Business clogged and people indignant. I strongly advise taking silver.

Can I bank with Hottinguer, Barings’ correspondent here; unwilling to have responsibility of funds at this time.

READ, Paris.
