you, a copy of this morning's paper I have told Fannin to enclose. It is impossible to stop this confounded correspondence although I have tried to do so. Of course one letter brings out another and so it goes on. Master Sutton catches it pretty warmly. That Brother of Crosbie Ward's has just been here representing himself as starving, can anything be done for him - employment as an extra Clerk for the Assembly wd. be a god send to him. He says he can write a good hand. Fox and Bell who were intimate with his brother might do something for this man out of charity. I know nothing about him but believe he had a fair character in the A. C. He is not however fit for more than a Clerk's place. At least I shd. say not from the little I have seen of him. The Nebraska is just sighted. In haste, Yours always, J. D. Ormond
