Hon Richard Yates

D Sir

The people of Olney are making preparations for a large meeting at Olney the 11. I shall pass during the coming week through Wayne White Wabash + Edwards + shall induce the people so far as I can to come up. I see you will, at the same time in Crawford + Jasper and would it not be well for you to stir up the people when you go. We will probably succeed in getting half fare tickets on the Ohio + Miss RR in which case there will large


crowds from all these towns, I think a great demonstration is needed in this Country.

Suppose you give notice in all your meetings

Yours truly

Leonard Swett
