[1] ALS DNA WR RG 107, Presidential Telegrams,I, 149.Benjamin H. Brewster wrote Lincoln on August 29, 1864: ``Absence from home has prevented me from understanding fully the condition of public feeling in Pennsylvania, but here I have had both occasion & opportunity of learning the external indications of popular opinion. For some time I find---the effort has been to impress the public . . . with the belief that you would be forced to withdraw, and now as that collection of Public vagrants are assembling at Chicago an effort is making here to impress the unsteady, the unfaithful & the timid of your party to urge that step on you. For God sake---disregard these clamors & outcrys! . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
