John's letter, his return lists, and his $100.00 came in together. Gallagher sympathizes with John in his attempt to reach Rexville, New York from Andover, New York, and warns John not to invite pneumonia. Gallagher is sorry John was delayed waiting for the lists of Buffalo, but explains that he had not expected John to reach Buffalo so soon. He would sent the lists weeks ahead, but he desires to have them as correct as possible before sending, and the subscribers often remit just before the agent calls. Also, the lists, if they were sent far ahead, might fall into the hands of a "sharper" who would collect the bills under false pretenses. The elections in New York were a great surprise. Old Tammany is once more on top, and both Gallagher and James Alphonsus McMaster are well pleased. The Freeman's Journal office was closed Election Day, and they had a chance to do some electioneering. Gallagher tried to get his friend McGoldrick elected, but is sorry to say he was beaten. McGoldrick had been deprived of the regular Tammany nomination through trickery and fraud. All the folks are well. John's father will think John has been working too hard when he sees the $100.00. Gallagher asks John once more to send his address in advance if at all possible Maurice Francis Egan has just returned from a visit to Washington. Cain is the some as usual, and J.K. is holding his own. Joe and Jack Keiley stop in occasionally and ask for John P.S. C. Farnicorn, Headville, Pa., has remitted $2.50 and should be credited. :: I-2-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
