DEAR SIR,
Mr.
Thompson has been to see me. Of course I was obliged to tell him there might be
circumstances in which I would vote for a slaveholder. This, I suppose, has
lost me a hundred votes; but I had better lose a hundred by honesty than gain
one by dishonesty. . . . In great haste, very truly yours,
H. MANN.
