MANSFIELD, OHIO, Oct. 17, 1871.
Dear Brother: Your note of the 14th is received. I am glad you are going to Europe, and under such favorable auspices.
You are sure of a hearty reception there, and you will be greatly entertained and instructed by wonders that must be seen as well as read of. . . . It is generally conceded that I shall be elected, though it is not sure. No doubt a majority of Republicans favor me, but combinations are often made, and may be in this election. . .
Affectionately,
JOHN SHERMAN.
