Monday Evening
Dear S,
We have accounts from the polls today in the strong abolition
towns. which removes the serious apprehension I was under last night
I think it will turn out better than I anticipated; and as those people
go in this county I think they it will be the same over the state
The Farmington quakers promised to pull true, and I have no fear
of them; Granger
Birth: 1792-12-01 Death: 1868-08-31
says there is no danger any where but I doubt
I am anxious to have the battle over.– I want to let Flick at that
canting knave G.S
Birth: 1797-03-07 Death: 1874-12-28
– he is a most precious scoundrel and
must be ungowned– I have eased my mind a little this afternoon
Mr. S.
Unknown
& I have sworn in Concert. at the knave. for a good long hour
I feel better
Truly
A W

farther ahead in Syracuse on the 2d
day than he anticipated
In Utica the Whig Majority
reduced one half since 1834
Waterloo Whigs 20 ahead 2d day

Birth: 1786-12-12 Death: 1857-07-04
majority in 1834 – 70 –
