He thanks McMaster for publishing his speech against railroad land grants. He realizes the odds against him in Congress, but hopes to arouse the people to a sense of the monstrous character of this legislation. He asks for the address of Judge James Clark, formerly of Ohio, and if McMaster should see Clark, Thurman would like for him to write. Caperly sends McMaster his regards. Caperly is a sensible and excellent man and Thurman likes to see McMaster's fine notices of him. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
