June 20 1858
Dear [unclear: Sir]
I have taken a long time as in truth I am so pressed as not to know what to do, or when I can pay-- I do not doubt that you are right although I fully believe myself out of this [unclear: responsibility].
You are right in letting your friends have their way -- You will have a hard road to travel-- You must every well and spend your money freely or you have no chance with your desperate appointment--
Thaddeus Stevens
E. McPherson
