Thanks him for his recent letter. Writes that he hopes Winslow has received "the report of the committee, and the decision of the house thereon - If you do not like the opinion of the house you can probably have it negatived in the Senate." Discusses in great detail the issues of bringing their Waldo patent issues before the legislature, using the help of their friend Colonel [Benjamin] Hichborn, an attorney.
