Dear Henry
We spent the day with your
Father
the subject of Turnpike Inspectors, he cant endure the
idea that Richard Jennings
in office under your administration I promised
him to write you, and send you some names
He received your letter while we were there.
I have consulted with some of our Friends and
we concluded it was best to submit the names
of Daniel C Owen
Minisink John Penny
ligan
wall I have heard the names of William G Beach
and John Denniston
pointment I dont know that Denniston has been spoken
to upon the subject, perhaps you will have some letter
from Cornwall, I have no preference
We have a first rate Ticket in nomination
for Town officers I think we will elect them
We are all well
Yours Truly
Geo. M. Grier
