My Dear Pond—
I promised, the other day, that I would not try to get anybody but Cable; & that if he declined to hitch teams with me I would retire once more into my hole & keep away from the platform. So don’t throw out any feelers toward Riley or make any propositions to him. InⒶemendation the circumstances, you see, it wouldn’t be worth while.
Ys Truly
