Meanwhile, I'll secure the best legal talent that money can get to help you.
I've a longer purse than that old Australian sheep-herder thinks, and when the time for contest comes, I'll meet him on his own ground." "If you are going to employ additional counsel," interposed Mr. Whitney, "allow me to suggest the name of P.B.Hunnewell, of this city; he is one of the ablest attorneys in the United States, particularly in matters of this kind.
