Dear Colonel

I am persuaded that the arrangement we made to meet at Washington on Thursday morning is the best and I could accomplish nothing in Philadelphia before going there. Arrangements were made while I was in Philadelphia last week to start the correspondence at once, and it will be done [unclear: E Hammers] matters with promptness.

If [unclear: Curtins] special [illeg.] go to Washington first I fear the result. They have

[page 2]
been so plied with falsehoods there that they have no hope of [unclear: Penna]: and if is of first importance that some others than [unclear: Curtins] immediate friend should confer with them first. This was arranged to be done as a preparatory movement and we fixed the earliest [unclear: period] we could follow it.

I will be down Wednesday & go direct to Washington & then to Philadelphia.

[illeg.]

MC

A. K. McClure.
