wear out the confidence and alienate the affections of the people is only what we must naturally expect- This is but one way to remedy this, and that is to give the Intellegencer the same or a greater cir- culation than that enjoyed by the Telegraph- Whiting must not wait for the subscribers to cmne to him- He must send the paper to every man whose name he can get- and for this purpose it would be best to tell ]Hr Ransom to procure a list of the most infiuen[t] ial citizens in every neighborhood [and have] the paper regularly sent to them- He (Whiting) will tell you he has done this, but he has not,- Mr Jewett will no doubt see it done if "talked to" prop- erly- This I do assure you is a matter of much greater importance than you think-And I feel very anxious lest you throw this letter aside, and after the first hour either forget its contents or neglect its counsels- Send immediately for both Whiting and the Editor, and take some measure upon the subject- Mrs ]\father & Laura have both been quite sick since the.fr return- It was luckey they came down when they did~ I leave in the Zavalla tomorrow-· You are expected down soon- Good-bye
