ALS, 1856 October 7 : Lindenwald, to his son [probably John].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/17496161

In 1856 Van Buren was supporting Buchanan against Republican Fremont. He writes here to his son, sending "a paper [not present] out of which you may possibly pick fresh matter for your Chatham speech, where you will have a large & anxious audience. It is the rough draft of a letter I wrote to Ohio, but of which, upon reflection, I sent only what is on the first page. I have also written a short, but I think rather impressive letter to Chicago for their meeting the 25th Inst. There is evidently an alarm spreading among the Democrats who were disposed to vote for Fremont ... He is yet in his shell & will probably remain so till the end of the canvass."
