Letter refers to an article in the 'Journal of this evening [in which] you mention a number of things (seeming to throw blame on me) which is not true' re the purchase of stock, 'the origin of the wharf Steamers to Provincetown [part of the Old Colony Railroad holdings] and my feelings in regard to extending the Railroad track there.'
