 Stratford, May 14th, 1912 Charles H. Peck, Esq. Dear Sir:
 Appreciating your great work for good government in the last General Assembly, where your influence for righteousness, was in measure, greater than any other member of the same, we, the undersigned Clergymen of the town of Stratford, earnestly res quest you to become a candidate for Reelection to said General Assembly, and we pledge ourselves to use our influence to nominate you and to elect you. not only as member of the General Assembly, but as Judge of Probate and Justice of the Peace We do this not as a matter of politics, but purely and simply as a matter of civic righteousness and good gov ernment.

 Gentlemen:-Your kind note of the 14th, duly received and in reply would say. that acting on your request that again become candidate for re- election as member of the General Assembly. will again become a can didate and endeavor to obtain the nomination of the Republican party this Fall. | feel that with the nor al backing of every Church in town, I. can hardly fail to receive the nom- less, it will require some hard work on our part before this, is accom- plished, as a few would-be leaders of the party have met in secret conclave and have decided that must be re- tired to private life. They give no reason for this and can give none. ex- cept that do not allow certain men to do my thinking for me.
 II could not well afford to take the nomination and election for tue Gen. eral Assembly without the other two offices I now hold of Judge of Pro bate and Justice of the Peace, as I am somewhat dependent on the incomes of the same for my livelihood while attendant at the session at Hartford. While a member of the General As semb1y I have always voted as my conscience dictated and have never voted for anything that I did not be- lieve to be right, no matter what kind of influence was brought, to bear upon me, and if I am re- nominated and re- elected shall still continue to vote that way on all public and private questions, which may, come before the house. I appreciate greatly your ex- pressed confidence in me and trust that whatever else may happen, I may never forfeit that or your friendship.
 Yours very truly,
 CHARLES H. PECK.
