My dear Sir

I have just been credibly informed, that Issac N Morris is engaged in obtaining affadavits and certificates of certain Irish men that they saw you in Quincy come out of a Know Nothing Lodge - the intention is to send the affadavits to Washington for publication - I do not know if there is any truth in the matter, neither do I care, but thought it best to let you know about it - the object is to work on the Germans - and Morris can get men to swear to any thing - my informant saw one of the affadavits or certificates - Yrs truely

A Jonas

if it all false, let me know
