Discusses the 1864 Presidential election with Butler (possibly a captain in the Army of the Potomac). States "You ask for whom I am going to vote Lincoln & Governor Fenton in fact the whole Republican Ticket And all your friends as well as myself Hope you will do the same ... I think the Election is going for Lincoln but we want every vote we can get for him so as to make his majority so large that if all the votes from states that send no votes are not represented in the Electoral College were counted against him he still would have a Majority."
