BOYDTON, VA., July 21, 1857.
DEAR HUNTER: I send
herewith a letter to our friend Montague, which I must ask you to direct
properly and commit to the mail. I do not know his p[ost] office. I very
sincerely congratulate you on your speech at Lexington. I have read it with
pleasure and admiration. I had occasion to pay a very hasty visit to the
Rockbridge Alum (to take a daughter there and leave her) a few days after you
left, and from all quarters your effort was greatly extolled. I hope I shall
have it in pamphlet form.
What is to be the
end of the Walker movement in Kansas? Will it not be made the issue next
winter in the General Assembly of Virginia? or rather is it not designed to
make it affect the election of Senators? I should like to know your position and
views on the subject. In the present aspect of affairs, what should
we do?
