SPEECH INTENDED TO BE DELIVERED AT FANEUIL HALL, BOSTON, SEPTEMBER 3,
1872.
LIBERAL REPUBLICAN HEAD-QUARTERS, BOSTON,
August 24, 1872.
MY DEAR SIR,--I am directed by the Liberal Republican State
Committee to communicate to you a vote of which the following is a
copy:--
“_Voted_, That the Chairman, in the name of the Liberal
Republican State Committee, invite the Hon. Charles Sumner to
address his constituents on Public Affairs in Faneuil Hall, at
the earliest day that may suit his convenience.”
Allow me to add my earnest personal wishes that you will be able
to comply with the request. “The great soul of the world is just,”
and the sober second thought of the people of Massachusetts will, I
doubt not, sustain you in the position you have taken in favor of
Reform and Reconciliation, and therefore of the election of Greeley
and Brown.
Very faithfully yours,
