Includes a lengthy letter from Carrie Jenkins Harris. Harris is investigating a "row" in the State Department between William L. Penfield, solicitor of the State Department, and a Dr. Scott over "collusion with certain parties in Mexico" and the seizure "of $40,000 of Scott's money in the Bank of Monterey." Her letter begins, "I think I see a chance to bring a man (Penfield) who treated you badly to his senses!" Harris is going to use her "pen" and her "newspaper influence to its utmost limit" and would like Cridler's opinion on the matter.
