Columbus, O., Aug. 25, 1876.
Private.
I hear from two friends that you feel “gloomy” as to the
prospects. Your influence is large. You can influence many
minds. It is too early to make figures. Let me urge you to
great caution in this regard.
I have stopped all the practices you complain of within my reach. Some are denied. Some are explained. I would write more fully, but money has corrupted one P. O. clerk, and I do not feel safe.
