Hillsboro Mar. 8. 1861.
Hon. Richard Yates,
Dear Sir,
Since writing you a joint letter, with friend Harkey and others, I learn that D. W. Munn Esqr, is probably in Washington City. If it is desirable to preserve the party here his wishes in relation to the post office at this place must be defeated. Munn is considered here by all the old, substantial men of the party as a political adventurer. There are two brothers trying to figure here, one a professed Democrat the other a Republican, and all their movements are in concert. We believe you can have great influence in the matter, and hope you will have no delicacy in aiding us in the matter. I hope, amidst all our political conflicts that the old men of the party will have some influence, and that our offices will not be placed under the control of young adventurers. Let us hear from you. Your friend
