Marked "Private" at top. Cobb, Governor of Georgia, writes to Hart, possibly a city mayor or official. Notes that he had determined not to appoint more commissioners to Hart's city, but wishes to comply with Hart's request. Discussing politics, declares "...a combination of free soilers.. do not overwhelm the true national democracy- You are upon the watch tower- Do not deceive yourself nor suffer your country, to be deceived with the false cry of 'all is well.'"
