Yours very truly,
HORACE PORTER.
The following, from the Hon. Roscoe Conkling, is a very flattering reminiscence, which I highly appreciate:
United States Senate Chamber, }
Washington, April 19, 1872. }
My Dear Sir:
As a New Yorker and a Republican, I want to thank you for the great service you have rendered our country and our cause in conceiving and carrying forward the great meeting of night before last.
The effect of it will be wholesome and widefelt; it was most timely, and its whole management was a success. Our friends all, I think, know and appreciate the large debt due you in the premises.
Noting your suggestions as to the future, I lay them to heart.
Yours sincerely,
