before the house: And I want you to
be certain to have a letter at my house
befroe the lection comes off; to satesfy
the one way or the other; and I will
do all I posably can for you: but if they

vote against you: You had better come to my
house on next Sonday and attend the
election at the Springs: and if you cannot
come; Send me a lettr by hand; as I will not
