GEO. W. QUACKENBOS TO TILDEN
"Ten o'clock, A.M., 58 Wall Street,
"New York, Nov. 10, 1876.
"Dear Sir,—A meeting of Republican chiefs was held at Washington night before last, at which it was decided to send some one by express train or special train to Florida.
"Report is that the person sent to go was Zac. Chandler himself.[14] Whoever he was, he was expected to reach Palatka about daybreak this morning. The steamboat, with returns from the outlying counties, was expected at Palatka at 3 o'clock this morning, and the messenger was to receive these returns at once.
Yours truly,
"George W. Quackenbos."
