JAY GOULD TAKES OVER THE FIRM, AND SENDS HIS BROKER TO MANAGE IT
A letter written the same month Gould and James Fiske joined the directorate of the Erie Railroad: "This note will be handed to you my broker Mr. D.L. Miller, Jr. who is appointed Treasurer of N[ew] Y[ork] S[late] Co[mpany] who is to advise me of the details of the management of the business.
