INDIANAPOLIS, August II, 1880.
TO f. M Dducher, Esq, Albany, N. T.:
Dear Sir,-It would afford me pleasure to
accept your kind invitation to attend the
political barbecue to be given by the Nolan
Campaign Association on the 1st OF Septem-
Der, but circumstances would hardly admit
OF my leaving this post Of danger at that
time, and so am reluctantly compelled to
decline your invitation. We are counting
confidently upon the vote OF the great En-
pire State for Hancock and English, and will
see that the vote OF Indiana is cast for the
same ticket. Very respectfully,
TSigned1 WILLIAM ii. ENGLISH.
