Of course, I do not wish to trouble you in this matter, and if you prefer not to take any part in the controversy, please throw this letter in the waste-basket. I should, however, very much appreciate any advice or other assistance which you could give me in enabling me to learn the situation in your part of Minnesota." In fine condition.
