Dear Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your kind invitation to meet the “Free Soilers of 1848” at Melville Gardens on Thursday, Aug 9^th, and am most happy to accept.

Will you permit me to suggest an invitation to Mr Gilbert L. Streeter of Salem who was the Editor of our Free Soil paper in Salem during this campaign?
