$150,000 in gold coin upon a note so made, and
direct "me"[scribbled out] him to deposit that amount to the
credit of the Contract and Finance Company?

I do not think I negotiated the transaction.

Q. 631 There was a good deal more. I am
speaking of one transaction.

A. I was not in the habit of making
those negotiations.

Q. 632 I will ask you if you did not for=
=ward to me from Sacramento in a letter
a note, made by Leland Stanford, C. P.
Huntington, Mark Hopkins and Charles
Crocker, for the sum of $150,000, and direct
me to deposit the amount thereof to the
credit of the Contract and Finance Com=
=pany at the bank?

A. It is possible that I may have
written such a letter; but the negotiation
was a matter that had been made
previous to the letter, probably. I did not
negotiate the transaction.

Q. 633 Do you say that you never negotiated
any note made by these persons?
"16"[written under "Q. 633"]

A. I do not think I ever did.
