Dear Col -
I wrote you a few days ago reminding you of your promise to visit us this campaign, and in reply to yours I would advise that you do so. I do not entertain any idea of your defeat, but our folks would like to see who they are to vote for. Bring Snyder along if possible - he can do some good here, as the Locofoco paper in this place has been assailing him most villianously for some time. I regret the state of affairs in your ranks, and feel surprised that Mr [Bogar?], who once made such a [narrow?] escape, should throw himself into the hands of the [disorganizers?]. I will confidently expect you at our meeting and will say so in the Sentinel. Yours truly A K McClure
