SECOND LETTER.
March 24, 1829.
Washington, April 23, 1832.
Dear Sir—I take the liberty to enclose you certain proposals, which speak for themselves.—The interests of the country demand that the Fourth Auditor's office shall be filled with men of business, and not with babbling politicians.—The people need only correct information, and the proposed paper will give it on the cheapest terms. It is intended to reach every neighborhood in the Union; and it is particularly desirable that it should be circulated through all Kentucky. It will render essential service in all your elections. Will you take the trouble, for the sake of our good cause, to raise a subscription in your quarter, and make an early return of names and money.
The time for action is at hand. Henceforth, assiduously devoted to my official duties, I shall leave my enemies and his to their freedom of speech and the press, resting my claims to public confidence on my acts. Very respectfully,
Your friend, &c.
AMOS KENDALL.
To Isaac Munroe, editor of the Baltimore Patriot.
