been placed before the people of this State for

Thought 1t due TO you, to the whig cause, and to
myself, to ask you TO furnish, under your own

me, which may publish
| | beg leave to say, that the deolaI which
expect, will, in my opinion, advance your cause
with all good and rejecting men through the
land; but whether it will advance or injure II, 1t
is equally due to yourself and 10 US, that you
should furnish ii, as am satisfied that you
would be as unwilling TO advance that cause
by any fraud, as we would be to be made the in
Isiruments, apparently, or dupes Oft. Be plea
sed, therefore, TO say to me, whether you suil
entertain the sentiments upon the subject OF
abolition expressed in your speech at Vncen-
nes, in 1885; whether you ever were member
of an Abolition Society in Virginia, and whoth,
Ier you have designated the Richmond Society
as an Abolition Society; and what was your po,
IticaI connection, iany with the old Federal
|party.


With great respect,


am sir, your friend, &c.
