E. Rockford Hoar to Amos A. Lawrence, September 13, 1860


Concord, September 13, 1860.

My Dear Amos, — Considering, as you say, the state of the weather, the news from Maine, and the prospects of your party, I admire your pluck.

I hope you will, some time or other before you die, belong to some respectable organization, having some definite principles, so that I can vote for you.

In the mean time, I congratulate your little squad on having a candidate who is neither “for sale or to let.”

Very truly yours,
E. R. Hoar.
