Washington, Apl. 4, ’50.
My Dear Sumner:
You will see my speech in the Intelligencer of to-day or the Union of tomorrow
or the Era of next week. It does not touch some topics as fully as you would
desire, but as a document for circulation, beneficial to our cause, I hope it
may meet with your approval. It would do me good and our cause, I think, good
if an edition in handsome Boston style could be got up in your city. Our Salem
friends would help I suppose. Such an edition appearing here from Boston would
have an effect on the Senate. About 20,000 pamphlet copies will be printed
here, but you know we are taxed to death for speeches. Will not Punchard
publish it in the Traveller?
Ever yours,
[SALMON P. CHASE.]
