Letter

Elihu B. Washburne to Benjamin Moran, January 1, 1871

Mr. Washburne to Mr. Moran

Dear Mr. Moran: Please send me no more London papers; only cut out the telegraphic dispatches from the United States, from day to day, and send them. It is too much to be the only person, in a city of two millions of people, who receives any outside news. It has become a great annoyance, and I prefer being without news to being subject to it. I hope you will receive permission to send all my private letters. I expect you will send me all the American papers as usual.

Yours, truly,

E. B. WASHBURNE.
