With every sentiment of regard, I remain sincerely,
Your friend,
James Buchanan.
[GOV. LETCHER TO MR. BUCHANAN.]

My Dear Sir:—
I have received your answer to my letters. I am glad your recollection of what took place between us corresponds so exactly with mine.
I will not in any event violate my promise, and shall, indeed did, say as much to my distinguished friend. My resolution upon this point is firm and decided; and I do not think it can be changed.
Polk! Great God, what a nomination! I do really think the Democratic Convention ought to be damned to all eternity for this villanous business. Has Polk any chance to carry Pennsylvania?
I write you very hastily to get my letter in to-day’s mail. More hereafter.
