Richmond, January 28, 1862.

Gentlemen:

Sincerely grateful for the call which you, and many others of my fellow-citizens, have made upon me, I do not hesitate to annouce myself a candidate to represent our District in Congress. My duties in Congress will not permit me to go through the District a under other circumstances I would gladly do. I content myself with announcing my inextinguishable devotion to our cause, and to elernal separation from the people beyond the Susqushannoh.

Your friend and fellow-citizen,

ja 3*--t3 Wm. H. Macfarland.
