To David A. Hall

Dear Sir

     I suggested to Mr Caldwell during his life time that a friendly suit should be brought by the representatives of Mr Blodget agt the chief Justice & myself, stating the failure of the objects for which the trust was credited, our refusal to accept the trust, & praying a transfer of the Stock to such representatives, or the substitution of other trustees. This I still think is the best, if not the only plan to be pursued. We will put in an answer immediately submitting the whole case to the Court. Believe me to be Dear Sir very sincerely & respectfully yrs

Bush. Washington
