Dear Henry
Taking your hint, I proceeded with

letter (not being able to obtain his
personal assistance) to Lowry's
Name: Nathaniel Lowry

, but found
that he had set off, under express at 12
oclock at night, 12 hours before for Buffaloe

to meet the directors of the Buffaloe & Erie
Rail Road Co. My anxieties brought me
all the way through yesterday & last [ eve'g ]
Alternate Text: evening
I had a brief interview with Mr. Falconer
Name: Robert Falconer
Birth: 1780-12-22
Death: 1851-10-20
which gave me much relief.
I am sitting in court amidst books
motions, records, unfledged ambition and
pompous authority—and having learned
that the mail leaves here in an hour
I have availed myself of the use of a
miserable pen w just to say to you that
appearances are favourable—the probable
results of my embassy will having in no
degree beyond this developed themselves.

was persiviring enough during
the distribution of the public funds, to pick
up several thousands of Lumberman's—which
coming so much faster than common
alarmed the people here & I suppose in-
duced them to think that we had turned

brokers. They are relieved to find that
this mode of accumulating is now
over.
Hall

Birth: 1784

came home yesterday—Irving
Name: Guy Irvine

three days ago—little time has there-
fore been allowed Mr. Falconer to consult
with them. He begs me to stay over
the whole day—although I had expected
to go 15 back this afternoon. So that I
suppose there is to be a full consultation
over our business. I find an unabated
desire not to break with us & hope
all will be well. You shall Know
the first hour after anything of moment
transpires.
Mr. Falconer & family are exceedingly
Kind & friendly.
Your grateful Brother
B.J. Seward.
