Dear Guy
I am glad to notice that you are likely to have a very smooth
race of it. With a determined opposition a contest in a district
of such magnificent dimensions as yours would be a serious
business.
I was at Kenyon Commencement (time changed to the first
Wednesday in July)--many friendly inquiries were made about
you. Quite a bitter rivalry has sprung up between the two old
societies-an amusing partisanship is the result. All the bad
passions belonging to the larger politics of the world are ex-
hibited in miniature. You would have enjoyed looking on as
I did.
George and myself have been looking for your friends and
from their non arrival as yet we suspect they have given up
coming. Lucy and the youngest have started for the country
where I shall soon follow with Birch.
You must enjoy the peppering which "Old Sam" is getting.
Write me when you have time.
As ever
R.

mounted volunteers for the protection of the frontier appear in The Con-
gressional Globe, 35th Cong., 1st Sess., 1174.
