CHARLES O'CONOR TO TILDEN
"Fort Washington, June 1, 1872.
"Dear Sir—I am sorry you did not extend your ride as far as this.
"I have been thinking somewhat intensely on a particular subject since I saw you.
"I mean in reference to a question of our personal action in a matter which, I suppose, is to come off on Monday.
"I have made up my mind definitively that whatever you or others may think fit to do, I will not, under any circumstances figure in that affair.
"There can be no mistake about its being unfit.[61] I shall be sorry to stand alone, but I am not afraid to do so.
"Yours,
"Ch. O'Conor."
