Gaxette [Gazette] Office,
Pittsburgh, Sept 13 1859
Dear Sir -- Would it be convenient for you, before your return home, to visit Pittsburgh and give us a speech? Mr. Douglas was here, with his stereotyped speech, and it would much gratify us if you could follow him up.
Please write me and let me know if you can come, and when; we will make ample arrangements, and give you as large an audience as you can wish.
Very Truly Yours
Russell Errett
