You better write Senator Platt that this letter was forwarded to me here & that I wrote you to mail him that I would take it up with the Land Board by letter. You can also write Shelden that you forwarded his to me & I wanted him to understand that while I could not commit myself to his support as there are very many candidates I felt personally vary favorably disposed toward him. As matter of fact we nearly decided on Jany 1st to has appointed Vickery of Niagara, a man for Syracuse & Dures Clark from Clinton Co
