My Dear S
There is a very strong desire existing among
many of our friends that Mr Spencer
Name: John Spencer
Birth: 1788-01-08
Death: 1855-05-17Certainty: Probable
should attend the Na-
tional Convention at Harrisburgh
Name: City: Harrisburg
County: Dauphin
State: PA
Country: US
. And Mr S is not
without a wish himself on that subject? There is some
prospect that he may be appointed a delegate from
our county
Name: Ontario County City:
County: Ontario
State: NY
Country: US
: Our citizens could by so doing pay him a
just compliment: but I fear there may be some difficulty
in the way. And I suggest that in case it is deemed
important, as in my judgment it is, that he should be
in the convention. [ hat ]
Alternate Text: That it be not left to the chance of
an appointment from one county, although I shall
do all which lays in my power to bring it about
He may be chosen a state delegate or sent from this
County. Why Not?
By the way I must not forget to bear
Witness to the excellent housekeeping I witness
and of which I have taken the comfort in your
mansion since Sunday.
Truly
A Worden
