My Dear Draper:

The end of corrupt and venal government seems to have been reached, and the people have triumphed over the officeholders. I am not a politician, but am rejoiced at the result.

Wisconsin has done well in this election. Is Orton elected?

How are you? All well here. Nothing new except election news.

Sincerely yours, etc.
S. V. Shipman
