Leet Robbery Scandal and Arab Maxim Fragments
A long extract covers Col G K Leet praised by Grant then accused of siphoning vast sums from New York merchants. Congressional inquiry, Treasury letters, and Stewart’s pressure frame the affair. Separate notes discuss Arab manners, prudence, and a blunt political jab at Grant’s honesty before brief remarks on Treasury clerks punished for exposing secrets.
