BROWNSVILLE, [PA.], June 2, 1855.
DEAR SIR: I have just received your favour of the 26th ult. Tomorrow morning I leave for Detroit to meet Gov[erno]r Bright by arrangement, and from thence we go to "Superior." I will with pleasure attend to the suggestions contained in your letter, and will write to you from "Superior." I have heard nothing special from there since the adjournment of Congress.
The troubles in Kansas have attracted much attention here
and I fear will give trouble in the end The Whigs, or rather the opposition to
the democracy, fatten on these difficulties and are determined to make the most
out of them. I am glad that you succeeded so well in Virginia, she is a better
battle-field than Pennsylvania. With my best wishes for your success.
