In riding through
Roxbury I saw immense placards calling on “the friends of Amos A. Lawrence and
Newell A. Thompson” to be present at a great ratification meeting this evening.
Such things can do my name no good. I hope they will not result in any harm
either to the name or to its owner. No one will suspect me of standing as a
candidate this time in the expectation of getting into office.
