BARNUM'S HOTEL, BALTIMORE,
June 2, 1852,
MY DEAREST LYDIA—I am exceedingly pained to hear of your sudden illness. I have wished myself back from the moment I heard of your situation, and wish there was an end of the convention.
It has not yet acted on nominations, and may not for a day or two. I hope it may to-morrow. No idea can be formed of what it will do. I have seen many of our old friends, who send many kind remembrances.
Write if you see that the Convention is continuing, and if I am seriously needed at home, telegraph me, and I will come immediately. I would rather be home than here a thousand times.
Give much love to all the dear ones.
Affectionately,
D. S. DICKINSON.
