Letter
Providence Ap. 15, '425 P.M.
Hon. D. J. Pearce,
Dear Sir,
We have, or rather Mr
Anthony has, an excellent letter today from a Senator
in Congress, dated the 12th, and urging us to go on in the
good work. He says ^that probably the President will issue a
proclamation in which ^the People will be threatened with government
power; ^and that it is Webster’s measure. He goes on to say that we
need not be afraid of any force from Washington, whatever
may be threatened. He adds – this is not my advice
alone.
We had a very spirited ^meeting for two
hours, this morning at the Mechanic’s Hall, commencing at
10 o’clock: ^there will be another this evening at the town house.
If we give a round thumping vote next Monday, the
Tories will begin to feel like knocking under.
T. W. Dorr
Tear off this –
The Senator above named is ____.
But you are not at liberty to
mention his name to any one –
A good extra is coming out this afternoon. Please circulate.
Everything looks well. The Tories are quiet today.
