I have no idea that such a thing has ever occurred to Mr Ruckstuhl, but such a surprise would doubtless be a pleasant one to him & to the hardy sons of Faderland who now form an important & leading Element of our city population.

Excuse me for troubling you with the suggestion, but among all your appointments you could not bestow the honor appointment upon a braver man, or more gallant soldier & where the "honor" would be appreciated by a wider circle of your political friends.

Very Respectfully &c Wm E. Hughes
