Dear Henry
The story is told for Chautauque
Harrison
Judging from some 10 or 12 towns
whose reports on Governor have come to
hand, I am disposed to believe this
ticket in the county will be an hun-
dred less:—possibly a little more.
I am here to meet the Supervisor
& assessors—cannot be well pre-
pared to leave W— under 10 days:
possibly 7.—
[ Yours ]
Reason: wax-seal B.
