E. CROSWELL TO TILDEN
"Albany, January 26, 1846.
"Dear Sir,—I am informed by a member of the Legislature, whose veracity I cannot question, that you stated to him that I had made a proposition in relation to a compromise of the questions of difference between the Argus and Atlas, which had been accepted by you or your friends, but which I had flown from or violated under the pretence of consulting my friends.
"Allow me to ask whether I am to understand you as having made such a declaration.
"Very respectfully,
"Yr. obt. servt.,
"E. Croswell."
