field. wish you to write me on the receipt
of this, that l may find your letter on my re-
turn.
How many friends to the South is there in
your city and how many in the county out

coming election be counted on as the strength of
the friends of the South IN your county,
Cau you give u lew uauleS VI IFleuuS 10
the Sonth in your city that it will answer to
send circulars to in favor of the cause of the
South, written in way that will not be com
pretended without key, which will send at
some other time. The circular will explain my
mission and the plans of the South much bet

l should inform you that our plans have, with
in short time. undergone change, one that

island On my return. j. L F.
SANDUsKY, Oct. 3, 1862.
J. L. FOSTER, Esq. Yours of the 1st came
to hand this day was glad to hear of your
success in that part of your mission, and hope
you may continue so to the end.
There is majority of friends in the city,
but the county will perhaps give 500 against
us. You can re y on at least too-dirds of the
cote as sound, if not three tourths, and perhaps
by the election we may be of one mind, or
nearly so. William Kershner, John E. Will
liams, and A. Strain, are men in whom have
the utmost confidence.
Send them along. --.
! 1fyou desire more names l will give them
In my next, after consulting with the party
themselves. 1t would be very gratifying to
hear the names of friends on the island, as
many of them are known to me, andMould be
an assurance Of good faith.
| Changes are constantly taking place here in
political parties, so it would be very di fficult
to give numbers; but we are beginning to feel
strong in this worst of all parts of the State,
the terminus of the Underground Railroad
You must excuse this.
| Yours truly, JAMES GULIcK.
