Discusses General McClellan ?s nomination at the Chicago convention. Transcription: Saint Louis Sept 2d 1864 Mr W.H. Jennings Dodin[?]. your esteemed favor came duly to hand a few days since ? but I postponed its answer until after the chicago convention ? and its results were known ? not that I often engage in politics or feel much interest in political conventions never haveing been a member of one but this is a crisis of more than ordinary interest and so much for the future welfare of the Country and the world depended upon the harmony and success of its proceedings that even I could not resist its influence, and [word unclear] myself somewhat from the daily routine of business.

I hope it may prove false as that and the consequent march of the army to oppose them would between them ruin the country effectually & cause hundreds of innocent men women [and] children to be murdered. The weather has been quite warm ge
