Thursday
Cincinnati. August 7th 1856.
Mr. Robert Tyler.
My dear friend,
Myself & Mr. Edward Renefeck will
leave this city for the Eastern cities on Monday next 11th vist.
We will arrive in New York about Wednesday morning,
and I think will see you by Thursday night or Friday morning
15th vist. Our object is to visit the clerks of the different
cities & collect the one thousand dollars to pay the expenses
of our trial last January. Not one dollar has ever
been paid. The association is pledged for the amount
and that pledge must be redeemed - one dollar per
man would soon sweep it off. We have promised our
lawyers that they should not be kept out of their money
but a few weeks longer. The amount due them
should have been paid them on the instant, seven
months ago. Please notify the officers so as that the
clerks will be prepared for us. I will write to Michael
Comber & to Col. Couroy this day. I would suggest that
you call a meeting of the officers of all the clubs for Friday night
the 15th vist. Mr. Renefeck & myself will be there. Ever yours,
Devotedly I am S. Lunsden
N. B. We will put up at
the "American Hotel" Cincinnati
Yours, S. Lunsden
