Lancaster, Ohio, Sept., 1859.
I will come up about the 20th or 25th, and if you have an
appointment to speak about that time, I should like to hear you, and will so
arrange. As you are becoming a man of note and are a Republican, and as I go
south among gentlemen who have always owned slaves, and probably always will
and must, and whose feelings may pervert every public expression of yours,
putting me in a false position to them as my patrons, friends, and associates,
and you as my brother, I would like to see you take the highest ground
consistent with your party creed. . .
