....That friend Of ours from Monona came
down, last week, according to request, and
we had good time with him. He thinks
"Uncle Abe" is doing just about right, but
says that Douglas is getting too thick

vessels was our only objection-they were
too small. Charley has sent us subscrip.
tons, late papers, cigars, &C., DC, for all of
which We are yet his debtor. .Hayt &

better as slave than an equal. Pity!. %.
