Hon Hendrick B. Wright
My dear sir
Please accept any thanks for your welcome letter of the 14th - I feel the injustices of success in Ohio, as its bearing w/in Pa, and as such suggest, will do all I can to help in Ohio. If these two great states are democratic this fall the fight of 1876 is nearly over.
Truly yours
T. A Hendricks
