CINCINNATTI, June 20, 1867.
DEAR UNCLE:—I shall
probably go to Columbus about the middle of next week and get around to Fremont
from there Friday or Saturday, and will leave with Buckland for Washington
Sunday night or Monday morning. I want to suggest the propriety of taking Birch
and Webb with me to Washington. I shall stay but a short time. The expense will
be a hundred dollars or so, but as this is probably my last of public life, I
would particularly like to take the boys. Do not speak of it to them unless you
approve.
I do not regret the
new step [candidacy for governor]. It gets me out of worries that I shall be
glad to be rid of. All agreeable here. Love to the boys.
