Your favor of the 18th inst. came duly to hand, and with it the copy of Fathers of Wisconsin. Having previously received the last named Vol. On receipt of your letter, not finding the newspapers you named, among those here in my possession, search was made for them elsewhere, with final success. Having requested a considerable number of persons to make search for these papers, it is not unlikely other copies may be sent me. All well here.
Business is good.
Political matters not encouraging for the friends of Gen'l. I wish it were otherwise.
