His Excellency

Gov. St. John

Dear Sir.

We are anxious to make up our slate for the coming campaign.

I have talked with our representative men and women, and we want to engage the following speakers.  Miss Francis E. Willard. Mr. Geo. W. Bain, and his Excellency Gov. St. John.  If you can assist us, by engaging the above speakers, and arranging time we shall be greatly obliged.  Mrs. Barnes will be at Bismark Grove this week and she will confer with you if possible.  We are all deeply anxious for your success in the coming convention.

A reply has been commenced in the Union to Judge Humphrey's articles by a lady of my parish who is capable of doing full justice to the Judge arguments.

The lady is Mrs. Sage. She will surely warm the sophestry of Kansaa most noted Attorney.

I remain with great Respect
