Dear Sir,

I promised Isaac whose surname is Bearce that I would write you if [?] I might increase the already favorable opinion you entertain of him. You will readily admit Isaac to be a "brick" is all I can say this ought to satisfy any reasonable man and it is something [sup?gatory], exactly so, as it seems to me, this letter. However, I am willing, always was, to serve a friend and Isaac said "You can just drop him a line you know." Certainly, but then my influence is mighty small, must be, half straight Whig that I am principle though I don't vote a ticket with the LocoFoco, Buck [Lecompton?], Kansas stripe, NO SIR.

Isaac is a patient and desiring of serving his county in his day and generation and believes that his time has come. Just now the Indian agency is in his eye and the [wings?] of several squaws and papooses flit across his brain, doubtless he fancies himself, like [??] dealing out to them their rations, whether it be [?] and sulphur or Picksi and Tomahwhee would be all the same to Isaac. What is the policy of the Morrill administration's Rotation in office? If so and you are not pledged what hinders Isaac from standing a chance. Pray write him favorably if you can. I come down Saturday, 10 Pm, leave tomorrow morning, hard winter for long road. Remember me to the Hon Secy of State while I [?] myself
