FRANK CROCKER TO TILDEN

Washington, D. C., Jan. 15, '77.

"Hon. S. J. Tilden.

"Sir,—I have in my possession a telegram sent to Z. Chandler, chrm. Repn. com., by O. C. Babcock, dated Chicago, Dec. 4/76.

"I consider it not only very valuable, but the key to the editorials and political arguments on the 'electoral count' which has filled the columns of the National Republican, the administration organ, for the past month.

"Respectfully Yours,
"Frank Crocker,
"617 6th St., N. W."
