[1] ALS, RPB. Lincoln's telegram to McVeagh, supra, was presumably sent to Moorhead as well. At 12:15 P.M. Moorhead telegraphed, ``Shall I publish despatchs. Allegheny County good for eight thousand (8000).'' (DLC-RTL). On October 15 Moorhead telegraphed again:
``I thank you for the despatch on Election day, immediately after I telegraphed you with regard to its publication, I found a bulletin on the streets giving an account of Meade's defeat. I at once published yours to counteract it, without using your name.
``Let me congratulate you on the glorious result in Ohio & Penna, who now declare for A Lincoln in 1864.'' (Ibid.).
