Maine Representative Morse expresses approval regarding the establishment of a Republican newspaper in Washington, D.C. to Blair. Recommends as editor George Weston (possibly Augusta, Maine lawyer and author George Melville Weston) to Blair, who formerly served as editor of the Washington, D.C. newspaper The Globe. Informs Blair that Weston was the editor of a democratic state paper (The Augusta Age) in Maine.
