CINCINNATI, Monday,
August 27, 1866.
MY DARLING:— There
is to be a convocation of the Union faithful at Columbus on Wednesday, the
29th, and I shall attend. If you can send the boys by the stage to Columbus
Wednesday or Thursday, it will save time and expense for me to go on with them
from there Friday morning. Of course you will not send them if Grandmother is
not improving. . . . Friends here all well. Cholera pretty much gone.
Politics funny—very—and
decidedly agreeable. We think favorable.
I may go to
Philadelphia from Fremont to the Southern Convention on the third. We open up
here September 8, and keep it up then until after election.
