Letter requesting that the enclosed speech of Senator Hendricks be published in the Argus. Thomas Hendricks was the Senator of Indiana at the time, and one of the other leading contenders for the nomination at the convention.

He served as Vice President until his death in 1885. Moderate handling most notably along the edges. A few tiny pin holes at the top above the date. VF. Comes w/JSA LOA.
