West Union, Fayette County, September 28th
My course has finally brought me to this place, and my face
is at last turned homeward, though I have many angles to make, and about three
hundred miles to travel before I reach there.
Stone will be elected by a very large majority; larger, I
think, than was ever given to any candidate for Governor. You may be interested
to know that the people seem to be unanimously in favor of my reelection to the
Senate. So far as I can learn, no Senator or Representative will be elected by
the Republicans who is not pledged to my election. Of course this makes me
proud, for I have not electioneered for it.
