Thursday
Friday morning 10th June–
My dear Henry,
It is not necessary that
I have both the Times and Tribune daily
suppose the Times be sent weekly or
semi-weekly as it would not answer to
discontinue it entirely at present –
Do if you have any influence with Kossuth
persuade him not to engage in secret
associations at least in this Country – it
will lose him the respect of many honest
men – I see by the Tribune of yesterday
that Greely
platform by the Whigs – I know that
you will not encourage this by thought
word or deed – With a compromise platform
or compromise letter from Scott
defeat is inevitable and would be
well merited – That portion of the free
soil party who have no consciences can
be accommodated by the Loco Foco's
& those who have certainly could not
vote the Whig ticket under those circumstances

We have had incessant rain this week
The garden is very pretty when I
can get into it – Worden
an hour yesterday – he is attending court –
I received a letter from Augustus
morning – he enquires if the Congressional
Documents containing the Presidents message
etc have been published – from which I
infer he wishes a copy – his address
Old Point Comfort – The company are
now engaged on the bay between Norfolk
and the mouth of the Potomac –
Fred
all in New York for the present – I will
write to Madame
Your own
Frances –
