Dear Colonel

Please have one of the clerks copy the returns made by the return Judges for President Judge, and Mr. Merediths letter & mail them to me at Chambersburg.

It will be eminently proper to publish Mr Merediths letter with a copy of the return in the district, as they will throw all the light on the subject. Mr Merediths letter will [unclear: relieve] the Governor, no matter how the matter of the companies is decided.

I see nothing new here, but the old fight seems to be growing & must culminate soon. I see Holt goes in the Cabinet. He is a cold [unclear: unimpressable] fellow, & will never know us.

Yours Truly

AKMcClure

Honorable Eli Slifer
