Dear Sam:
I have just rec. a letter from Brown Allen with a copy of the Old Dominion Sun with my letter. I am very anxious for Revencomb to be elected. A quiet still hurt is the best for him. Is the National Committee helping him? Agnes told me that they had given Slemp $2500. The ? are indifferent. I have not seen one who thinks that Parker has any chance. I have asked Agnes. Willie & Brown Allen to get Tom Watson to speak in Revencomb's Slemp's & Hoge's districts. If he will I think they will be all three be elected. On Monday the Wash: Post will publish a letter from me signed J.S.M. I want Revencomb to read it. I wo. Like to hear from you. Is Josie for Roosevelt or Parker? I sent Colonel William a paper with my letter. He took no notice of it.
Yours truly,
J.S. Mosby
