Cameron's letters of January 6 and 7 have not been discovered, but John Hay's Diary records on January 9, 1864, that ``Cameron has written to the President that the entire Union force of the Pa. Legislature, House and Senate, have subscribed a request that the President will allow himself to be reelected, and that they intend visiting Washington to present it. . . .''
