My Dear Henry
I thank you for your favor
of the 16th Sepbre, I regret much to
learn of the impaired state of your
health so much so that a voyage
at sea is considered indespensable
to its recovery and that your affairs
at home forbear that recourse
I cannot know of this without
tendering you my feeble aid in
carrying out so necessary an object
yet I do not know that it is
needed, it is however sincerely
and affectionately made and will
be complied with as soon as I
am informed by what method
and in what direction it can
be done.
We intend to leave this place
for Oswego, Kendall co Ill
on Monday the 12th e
Editorial Note
we shall be there where I shall
be happy to hear from you in
reference to it,
Since I have been in this
place I have had the pleasure
of meeting Mr Washburn
Birth: 1818-04-22 Death: 1882-05-15
of this
district and of hearing him speak
He is not a brilliant or eloquent
speaker, but I suppose a man
of good common sense, intelligent
well practice in political matters
He will make a good run of
it in this county.
A mass meeting of 1000 people
has been held here (which for this
county was a great turnout
) Mr Washburn and Allison
Unknown
?, Gov Ramsey
Birth: 1815-09-08 Death: 1903-04-22
and Mr Wilkinson
Birth: 1819-01-22 Death: 1894-02-04
of St Paul ad-
dressed the meeting and a good
time we had of it.
I must close my letter [ hear ]
