Informs his son, "I learned to day of another outbreak on Political Matters. The Union Party so called held a meeting somewhere in the vicinity of [struck: St. Paris] Carysville [Ohio] and on their return home they came in collision with some Democrats and one of the Union men struck a Democrat with his cane and he resented by stoning, when Jim McFarlan drew a revolver and shot the man in the breast... one of the Republicans was shot... This comes from the Preachings of that old Scape Grace old Shaffer he told his Audience that if any one halloed for Vallandigham to shoot him down, now [inserted: as] I have told you before I am not for Vallandigham but such teachings will never do for there are many thousands of people that believe that he is a Loyal man but differs in opinion in regard to the suppression of the Rebellion...
