within day or two TO the fact that | wrote
no letter the Montpelier convention. | could
not at the time recall having had any COM
muncation from anybody on this subject,
but now find in pigeon hole, letters
which answered yours of the 9Th inst, which
in some way got out of the package of let
tiers to be answered, and SO in the press of
my work and correspondence, it was not re-
piled to. | think it due you personally that
I should make this explanation | should
not wish ysu to feel that
had failed in any personal or political
courtesy. | am glad also to notice how nu-
merously attended the convention was, and
how positive its faith and opinions. I am
confident that with perfect unity and conse-
quentiy earnest work will win US victory this
