D. MANNING TO GEORGE W. SMITH
"215 State Street, Albany, N. Y., Aug. 30, 1885.
"Dear Mr. Smith,—I am just back from Watch Hill. I want to see you, and will take the early train Wednesday morning, stopping off at Yonkers at 10.30 A.M. I expect to return to Washington next Thursday evening or Friday morning, and as I do not think I can come over again for some months, I will be glad of a chance for a long 'talk' with you. Please advise me by telegraph if it will be agreeable to see me about the hour named; or if some other hour on Wednesday or Thursday will be more convenient.
"Faithfully yours,
"Daniel Manning.
"Geo. W. Smith, Esq.
