Transcription

Some of our best citizens are being sadly prejudiced against Pres Lincoln and Sec Stanton by its infamous howlings. Its readers here in the country are really semi-rebels made so by its teachings.

Tens of thousands would petition to have it wiped out. Would it be best to do it? or is it best under all the circumstances to quietly tolerate the vile thing for a while longer?

A. J. Grover

P.S. Your letter to the President, published in the Chicago Tribune of this date is the right thing at the right time. All but the readers of the Times hail it with enthusiasm.

Why is not the Times surprised? It is doing infinite mischief among the people.
