Franklin County: Edward McPherson to [unknown], July
1, 1857
Summary:
McPherson offers his suggestions to an unknown recipient for committee members
from Franklin County and Adams County.
July 1. 57.
Gettysburg
Dear Sir
Your Circular of the 17th reached me some days ago. I immediately wrote to [unclear: Chambersburg] for the Franklin Committee. Returning home yesterday evening, I found a reply awaiting me. I presume you wished me to give committees only for those Counties which comprised our Senatorial district, when the National Committee was appointed. The Bedford man will [unclear: supply] you with the Fulton subcommittee.
I suggest the names of the following persons:
Franklin -- A.N. Rankin, Chambersburg
George W. Ziegler, Greencastle
Honorable
Thomas Dumroy, Roxbury
Adams -- David A. Buehler -- Gettysburg
Dr. J. L. Hill
Dr. Charles Horner
We have thought it best for the sake of efficiency to have the committee in town. In Chambersburg they preferred the other plan.--
Yours truly
Edward McPherson
