William H. Cabell to [Wilson Cary Nicholas], discusses in detail his conversation with General Marshall about the financial affairs of Nicholas, and how his testimony could safely be admitted in court concerning the lawsuits against him. Cabell believes the "most favorable plan for the endorsers would be for suits to be immediately brought against them by the persons holding your paper" and "the only other advisable plan would be a suit in Chancery to perpetuate your testimony." Also discusses the impact of Mr. Giles suit upon Nicholas' own case, and mentions other suits that may exert an influence upon his affairs. He notes that the half year's interest on the $20,000 due the United States Bank will be due in three or four months., 1820 February 03
