He got out a writ and arrested Frank.

His father was sent for, and settled this matter satisfactorily.

I thought I would go up to New Hartford and see Capt.

Merrills about Frank's affairs--he told me all about them, and said he had been looking over Frank's business very thoroughly, and found that a large amount was owing him and that Frank had shown him on his book invoices of a large amount of goods that he had shipped to South America, besides several large accounts and notes--one of eight thousand dollars.

He told me that he thought after paying me and others whom he owed, there would be as much as twenty thousand dollars left.
