St Nicholas Hotel N.Y. July 8th 1862
Dear Yates I was at Washington last week I was in hopes to have met you there if you had written me when you left home I could have met you there as well as not I have finally succeeded in selling all our Menard bonds at fine prices ranging from .90 cts to par I think after deducting all the little expenses of Expressing Comissions &c that they will net us 95 or 96 cts I have the parties to whom sold &c so I can give you entire satisfaction I am well satisfied with that speculation & hope when I make my report to you that you can concientiously gratify my bunch of [Approbatisedress] we are here struggling hard to build our HP. the prospect is good if we do not meet any more reverses such as we had be fore Richmond
C. D. Hubbard &c are dunnig Beekman & myself to death for their just or rather the balance there is [Beggars?] Jno Bennett T. S. Mathers & yours still be hind had you not better try & pay yours & get T. S. Mather do like wise the result of our success greatly depends on C D Hubbard & co if we fail in making negociations you Beekman & myself will have to raise & pay 4 or 5 thousand dollars each James Beekman has our Note & is mearly holding on to see the result of our negociations you may rest assured that I am doing all in my power to a rest the shock that it will give me to sustain such a loss at this time Wm Butler has been here I have mad arrangements with him about the premium on his Coin debt we are to allow him 5 per cent I have instructed Bunn to lift our note
yours truly W. G. Greene
