Senate Chamber, May 30, 1860.
DEAR SIR,—My duties here will not allow me to be with you at Buffalo; but I shall unite with you in every generous word uttered for Freedom, and in every pledge of enthusiastic support to the Republican candidates.
We have a Platform of noble principles, and candidates, each of whom, through his well-known principles and integrity of character, is a Platform in himself.
Accept my thanks for the honor of your invitation, and believe me, dear Sir,
Faithfully yours,
Charles Sumner.
A. W. Harvey, Esq.
