Harrisburg, June 15, 1864.
My Dear Sir, —
I strove hard to renominate Hamlin, as well for his own sake as for yours, but
failed only because New England, especially Massachusetts, did not adhere to
him.
Johnson will be a strong candidate for the people, but in
the contingency of death, I should greatly prefer a man reared and educated in
the North. 1 hope you will come this way going home.
Truly yours,
Simon Cameron.
Hon. W. P. Fessenden.
