4Ey Dear ,Su::-l have your favor of late

has my passes to use coming home, but will
send them to you as soor as get there. l hope
he will be appointed, but don't expect it nor
aoything else that is decent from Hayes for
Louisiana. His policy appears to be to send
Packard away and turn over everything else to
our enemies in the party, who will ensure demo-
cratic success next fall. For myself, in my dis
trict, | prefer to have such people against me.
If | conclude to rub, / can be elected without
patronage, and prefer it, suppose NJ. did
what be could, but they evidently don't think
you will DO anything. Your letters, taken with
your sworn evidence, directly duplicating s.,
II. and H., are valuable, use them discreetly,
but don't spare them, as, except NJ, they are
the most unmitgated scouudrels l ever met; q
miserable hypocritiaal Psalm singing, cold
blooded set whom it would be doing the coun'
try service to expose. Write me fully, but
be discreet Send papers to Mrs. D. if you can
without trouble. Am glad Laura is better.-
We both send love to her. Write often.
