July 24, 1860 My dear McLean, Many thanks for your two notes of yesterday. I will urge Richmond to let me have his mem. on mixed juries and send it to you as soon as I get it. The only other message I can think of is about spirits and gunpowder and perhaps you would give me a rough idea of what I should say on the subject. The Assembly is to be put off until Monday unless the Steamers appear today. My speech is almost entirely confined to the war and is I think good.
