Diary of to Amos A. Lawrence: October 22, 1858

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.
