Introduction
Robert Hale Ives, the older brother of Moses Brown Ives, wrote to John Brown Francis urging him to solicit support from President Tyler. Francis, along with John Whipple and Elisha R. Potter, Jr., was in Washington, D.C. to meet with the president and members of the cabinet. Ives regretted that Francis had declined to run for political office in the upcoming elections. Ives informed Francis that Thomas Dorr was going to run for governor on the People's Ticket.
