SOUTH BEND, Ind.,
August 29, 1864.
C. E. Fuller, Esq.
— My Dear Sir: — I will be at Rochester Thursday, Sept. 22, when Mr.
Wilson is to speak, without fail. Have to change my programme some to bring me
in that part of the district at the time, but will do so.
Gen. Garfield has replied to my letter of last month, that
he will come after filling his own appointments at home. I have mapped out a
route for him as follows, and so written him (to avoid his leaving home before
a Sunday):
Peru, Tuesday, Sept. 27, 1 P. M.
Rochester, Wednesday, Sept. 28, 1 P. M.
Plymouth, Thursday, Sept. 29, 1 P. M.
Westville, Friday, Sept. 30, 1 P. M.
South Bend, Saturday, Oct. 1, P. M.
At Westville I am to have a mass-meeting that day for La
Porte and Porter counties.
I have asked him to write if this will suit. I thought
better to have him the next week after, than to crowd Wilson, himself and myself
all up into one meeting.
Yours, truly,
Schuyler Colfax.
