Thanking him for his letter containing a list of members that he will make use of "in next Monday's or Tuesday's Gazette"; indicating that since his return from Indianapolis, he has had little time to search for the "night session letters" he has asked for, but will "hunt again to-morrow"; explaining that he is "detained in the West" by the illness of his "poor lame little ward" for whom he has high hopes of recovery; expressing confidence in the outcome of his election, despite the worry of "that Ky. notion of a concentration on Mallory" but "of course Washburn amounts to nothing. His candidacy is almost a joke" and "our Mr. Smith says Anderson of Ky. is almost an abolitionist"; and reflecting positively on his recent stay in Indianapolis.
