My dear D^r. Wallace,

I think you could have sent (failing your own presence) nothing better for the Democratic Convention, than the what I have from you with your of 21st.¹ This I am sending in to the Secretary of the Convention (the editor of Reynolds, Mr. Thompson,² who wrote you³), & hope, with his assistance, not only to read it at the Convention, but circulate it in other ways.

[2] I await your new book with interest, and will, where I have opportunity, make it known and appreciated.

Believe me, | Ever yours truly, | John C. Kenworthy⁴ [signature]

P. S. Perhaps it will be best for me to make your pronouncement the staple of my own address, & thus enforce it.
