STEPHEN J. FIELD TO TILDEN
"Washington, Dec. 11, 1877.
"Dear Sir,—I did not forget, on my return to Washington, the promise I made in New York to send you the copy I have of Judge Bradley's letter explaining his action on the electoral commission, but for some days I could not find it. Having now found it, I enclose it to you, and also an extract from an article which appeared in the Newark Daily Advertiser about the same time, and to which the judge evidently refers in his letter.
"The language of the letter[21] justifies some of the comments of the press upon the change of views which the judge experienced shortly before the vote was taken in the Florida case.
I am, very sincerely yours,
"Stephen J. Field."
