"UTICA, _Oct. 3, 1872_.
"MY DEAR SIR,--I enclose a draft for $5233.34 to pay my note and
interest. Please to send it to me by mail. I am very much obliged to
you for the accommodation. How does the canvass go? I am not able to
work myself into any heat about it. I grow old very fast. Then, too, it
is hard to go out to speak for Greeley. His abuse has been so gross. As
facts stand, I think it was wise to put him up, and I can see my way
clear to vote for him, as he can be made of use in driving negroes out
of office; but it is hard to speak for him. But for you and Kernan I
would not move this fall. As it is, I will do what I can.
"Truly yours, &c.,
"HORATIO SEYMOUR."
