Have written Ritchot; my letter will arrive soon I hope; if you are certain you will go via Duluth I would go there; am happy we are to have our lands by township; Ottawa is in no hurry; you say they want to elect me to the Commons; these friends honour me; but let us be serious; is the proposition like that of two years ago; would like to be elected for the Commons and the local House if no federal law prevents it; greetings to my relatives and our friends in Canada.
