Reply to Robert Hosea, Cincinnati, Ohio [1]
February 12, 1861
Mr. CHAIRMAN:---I thank you, citizens of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Kentucky, for this reception. As I understand it is a part of the programme that I will address you a little more at length at the Burnet House, I will, for the present, postpone the making of any remarks. I will proceed at once from here. I remark here that it is not my purpose to make a lengthy speech.
