Dear Mrs. Colby. If you
wish to print the enclosed
article on "The Union" in the
Tribune do so. If not let
me know by a statement on the enclosed
postal & I will send the
money for the return of manuscript &
publish in The Citizen.

Mrs. Perkins says she
was present when the national
society voted to make The
Tribune its organ she thinks
this was the year that she went to Texas
which is the same year that I first
saw you at Washington. I had
my son with me & you called on
me at DM. Winslow's to see about
the return tickets &c now if you
know what year that was please see
