SAMUEL HAND TO TILDEN
"State of New York, Executive Chamber, Albany,
"Monday Morning.
"Gov. Tilden.
"My dear Governor,—I had intended to see you before or when I delivered the enclosed and satisfy you of my reasons.
"But the storm yesterday prevented, and I do not find you here this morning, and must go down. Fearing you may want to act at once, I leave it.
"I will see you and justify soon as possible.
"Yours with respect,
"Saml. Hand."
