22d August, 1910.

Rev WIN. WINANs.
DEAR Sin: perceive in the Biography Of William
FL Harrison, that al the celebrated conference held
between him and Tecumthe, in 1910, Methodist
preacher by the name of Winans behaved with great
gaantry in Selling musket and standing in defence
of the ladies, when instant attack was anticipated
from the savages.
My object in addressing you is to ask if yon tho
person spoken Of in that history and if you are,
what them and what is at this time your opinion
Of the capacity Of Gen Harrison rule the destnes
of this great nation Chief Magistrate You are
doubtless that since his nomination for the
Presidency by the Harrisburg Convention, he has
been the object of the most unweared abuse by the
partisans of the present Administration and that no
effort has been spared rob him of his well earned
fame for interested purposes therefore consider it
the duty of every honest man who can say anything
in his favor to come forward and lend his aid in put
ting down the abuses here complained Of And as
your conduct has been such ene your words
and opinions to the entire confidence Of the people of
this country, am induced to ask you to address me
letter for publication, containing such statements
you feel authorized TO make in relation Gen Harri-
cannot conceive that this will be any departure
from your duty Christian and Minister Of God.
On the contrary, if you believe he has been unustly
dealt with you ought to feel it your duty to out
in his defence, that justice may be done.
| am, sir, with great respect,
Your most obedient servant

DEAR COLONEL

AT your request state TO you the substance Of our
several conversations touching your opinion of Gene
raj Harrison, and your unhappy difference with that
distinguished officer.
The first conversation which took place between us

early part Of September, 1873 when Major Wood
and myself were our way to reconnoitre the San
dusky Bay, and TO have a conference with Commo
dore Perry the subject of our operations agains,
the enemy. That conversation is perhaps the better
ecollected nasmuch as il has often been referred TO
in our subsequent conversations since the war and
from the fact that you did the compliment to say

DEAR COLONEL:
| am well aware that you take no part in the politi
cal warfare of the times and il is from desire to
draw you from your neutrality that now address
you
During the last two years ! have had the pleasure
frequently to meet you and have never heard you de-
clare yourself for either of the Presidential candidates
now before the people, and have wish to see you
commit yourself on this subject. believe that your
relations with General Harrison, well as with Mr.
Van Buren,, of the most friendly character, and
that you regard them both with feelings of friendship
Whilst you disparage neither have heard you speak
of both in terms of praise and feel satisfied that you
will answer the questions ask you in the candor and
sincerity Of a soldier.
Some letters of yours have been recently published
during your absence from Washington, and many
have endeavored to produce the impression that you
have authorized their publication, and have thrown
your influence against General Harrison. | do no,
believe that this so, but would like to learn from
yourself whether the publication of the letters

in other hard fought battles, which have added to
the fame and honor of country. l should be
pleased TO know if on that occasion, at any other
time during the war, General Harrison showed any
OF bravery and further if the ground selected
for the encampment of his troops at Tippecanoe
judicousy or improperly chosen.
During the war, sir you performed most dstin
guished part and your will always be associated
with its most brilliant achievements, as long as there
is left one American heart to admire your gallant and
glorious defence of Sandusky You have had as good
an opportunity to form correct opinion of the cour
iccr and / should be pleased TO have your opinion
upon these matters.
