Grier writes to his brother informing him that "Normal School" has closed and that they had a Camp Meeting recently, which not many people attended. The last page of letter is written 26 August by James M. Maitland to his son, giving him updates on the activities of the Democratic and Republican parties. Also writes, "The news from Charlestown is the most flattering kind in regard to our final success, I trust and Pray that it will fall without the shedding of much blood." Likely written from Kingston, Ohio.
