written to a party leader in the Fourth
District, and which found its way to Mr..
Edgar Allan:
Norfolk, Va, March 18th.
Dear Sir,-Your favor, without date. In
regard 70 the delegates from your county
received.
How much would II take to control
your county for delegates who would
sustain me at Stanton, and In sending
unpledged delegates to st. Louis?
Colonel Brady says that he is friendly
to me, but he seems to be very intimate
with Allan and Waddill: and, / under
stand, got Mr. Murphy TO resign as chair
man In Richmond in the interest of Allan
How do you stand with Brady? Is he
and Thorp not able TO defeat Hooker?
You may write me In the strictest con-

letter as the same. Several to whom l
have written In your district, confiden-
tally, have shown my letters, which is
inexcusable.
Yours sincerely. WILLIAM LAMB,
Chairman.
