My Dear Sir: Yours of the 21 ult, came only to hand. I have as yet made no use of your correction of the report of your speech &c, which you sent. When it came to hand, they were trying to make up a fusion in New York, and I thought it advisable to let the matter alone. The fusion is not yet perfected though I hope it will be [?] Brady has shown himself to be after [? ?] nothing else. I am still in hope he will be [? ?] to the fusion movement. meantime I [?] getting up more evidence about his sympathy with old Brown. The Tribune in a late editorial stated that Brady made a speech last winter, in which "he boasted in a meeting at Tammany Hall" - "that Democrats alone, ventured to evince Sympathy for old John, and called for three cheers for him which were given with a will". I guess this is what Anderson referred to. I shall know more about it soon I hope. There may be a good point in it, and there may not.
Today Mr Cobb removed Robt J. Lackey, Esq, Law Clerk in the Solicitor's
