To John Mathers

Springfield,

July 20 1858

Jno. Mathers, Esq.

My dear Sir:

Your kind and interesting letter of the 19th. was duly received. Your suggestions as to placing one’s self on the offensive, rather than the defensive, are certainly correct. That is a point which I shall not disregard. I spoke here on Saturday-night. The speech, not very well reported, appears in the State Journal of this morning. You, doubtless, will see it; and I hope you will perceive in it, that I am already improving. I would mail you a copy now, but I have not one at hand.

I thank you for your letter; and shall be pleased to hear from you again. Yours very truly
