New York, May 25, 1860.
Pike, My Friend: Do you
see how the heathen rage? How the whole weight of their wrath is poured out on
my head? Will you tell me why Maine behaved so much worse at Chicago than any
New-England State but Massachusetts? What meant that infernal vote from
Massachusetts against us? I thought some of you Eastern folks would look to
this. Just write me one letter to let me know what all this means.
Yours,
Horace Greeley.
J. S. Pike, Esq.
