My Dear Friend
Several gentlemen of this City expressed to me this evening an anxiety to have you visit this City. They informed me they had written Govr Chace [Chase] to that effect, and at their request I wish to say that I desire to second their efforts to get you here I have no doubt you will do them much good
I hope you will come without fail
Very truly
J R Giddings
