Title: Letter, September 10, 1881, Harrison Reed, Jacksonville, to Ellen Call Long, 3 pp.: "I will not only assist to the extent of my ability in bringing out your work, but I shall take great pleasure in doing so free of charge . . . I have . . . contemplated writing the P.M. General to secure you the appointment of P.M. at Tallahassee but have awaited the result of the attempted assassination to know how best to approach the administration. Now since you are in Washington allow me to ask you -- would such an appointment be agreeable to you. . . Since my losses by the publication of the Semi-Tropical and its discontinuance and the refusal or neglect of the state to repay my expenditures in maintaining peace and saving the state from vagrant plunderers I have . . . waited for something . . . to bring relief from financial distress and political distractions . . . Now the state is on the highway of progress and I begin again to hope for a revival of my Semi-Tropical and . . . a more congenial state of society . . . I think the time is propitious for the bringing out of your work and I think it would command sale among the crowds of visitors who are about to throng to the state as well as among our better classes of citizens. . . if President Garfield lives we are to have a truly conservative government. . ."
