Although Clarence's plan had suggested reticence, Hooker could not forego the pleasure of informing them that ""Clar"" Brant had just offered to let him into an extensive land speculation. He had previously declined a large share or original location in a mine of Clarence's, now worth a million, because it was not ""his style.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
