Providence, Dec. 22, 1841. Evening
Dear Sir,
As one of the proofs of the increasing zeal
felt here in the cause of the Constitution, I would say at
this time, that Walter S. Burges will be responsible for
$25 toward the expenses of an agent to Block Island, to
arouse our fellow citizens of that place, and to bring them
into action next week. I hope you will take up with this
offer, and send over a suitable person with a sufficient
number of tickets. If this sum be not sufficient to pay the
expenses of an agent, I have no doubt that the balance can
be raised here. We want all the votes of the Island.
Our accounts from all parts of the State are most encouraging,
so much so in fact that we can hardly credit them.
Glocester is set down by Atwell at 500! Go ahead!
T. W. Dorr
