It will not be convenient for me to attend the meeting
to-morrow, nor do I see what we can do as a committee in the present state of
affairs. If 75,000 people who have sworn to resist the Lecompton fraud cannot
do so successfully, we as a committee cannot help them. They will yield
to the administration or there will be a fight — in either case our present
committee could not assist them much. I think the administration will give in —
because I believe they must. Still, any measures which the majority of
the committee should adopt would have my entire cooperation, I have no doubt.
Yours ever,
F. B. Sanborn.
