Attorneys-At-Law
Canton, O. Oct. 12, 1883.
Dear Judge,
No body in the State regrets your defeat more than I do. You deserved a different result and could have it if the fight could be had once again. We are all proud of you any how. No candidate for Governor ever made a more brilliant case and the friends you made will stick to you for life. I hope the great tax on you physically will not have to have been too much for you. I shall want to continue our friendship and hope to see and hear from you often. With much respect and sincere regard.
Your friend,
William McKinley Jr.
Hon. JB Foraker
