"_Thursday,_ 10 A. M. [_1868._]
"MY DEAR SIR,--At this juncture is it not wise for the N. Y. delegation
to ask the Pendleton men whom they will support? If they answer
Seymour, he _must not_ decline. But I am confident it won't do to take
up Gov. Chase until the Pendleton men have been consulted.
"Faithfully yours,
"CLARKSON N. POTTER."
