Rochester June 3 38
Dear Seward
G
should know it. I have written you two long letters at Albany one
from this place and one from Canandaigua G was here last week
and I think I do not mistake his designs. they are to create an impres-
sion that you are the Clay Candidate, and to assail you through
the Clay party:- to raise a hue and cry about the Conservatives and the
Holland land Company. and to Excite popular feelings of sympathy
in his favor: while he is crying up Coalition he is endeavoring to raise
one- I have talked with Whittlesey
stand his game: I wish you could come to Canandaigua. or
else inform yourself fully what is in the Wind I dont think Mr
Spencer
W & A had taken the same views in regard to it which are
contained in my two letters to you: yet they do not think that any
one has been dispatched to Albany or NY to magnify the matter
I will endeavor to get a bug into Gs ear during the week and
present to him some consequences as likely to result from his present
policy- I think I can do this without the least suspicion being
raised that he is understood
In haste &c
AW

understands it for it had not manifested itself before he leftW & A had taken the same views in regard to it which are
contained in my two letters to you: yet they do not think that any
