Cincinnati, Jan’y. 16, 1848.
My Dear Sir: I
take great pleasure in introducing to you Mr. L. A. Hise, the author of
the accompanying note. I trust it will be in your power, to comply with the
request which he makes, in behalf of the periodical of which he is Editor. A
bold and clear exposition of the present relation of parties to each other and
the republic could not fail to be useful, and I know of no one to whose hands
such a task could be more safely confided than to yours. I believe it is the
purpose of the publisher to make compensation for articles furnished, but at
what rate I am not advised.
I have had it in my mind to write you on the great topics in
which we both feel so deep an interest. I hope to be able to do so soon. I read
with great satisfaction the eloquent appeal of your State Committee to the
People of Massachusetts. We have given a response not wholly unfit, I trust, by
our State Platform.
With the truest
regard, Faithfully your friend,
[James S. Pike.]
