BINGHAMTON, October 28, 1855.
MY DEAR GOVERNOR—I
am such a political heretic in the estimation of many of your friends, that if
I were to congratulate you upon your election they would question your
orthodoxy, and I therefore think it more safe to omit it. In the Senate we were
so far separated upon the leading questions that we had nothing to disturb our
private friendship; and I recur with pleasure to the recollections of our
official and social intercourse.
The immediate object
of this note, is to introduce to your acquaintance, and crave your kind offices
in behalf of my friend, J. Hunt, jr., of your State. His present political
associations I do not know, but I commend him as a gentleman of character and
attainments, and evidently worthy of your confidence and regard.
