Correspondence of JAMES K. POLK
FROM HENRY W. CONNER
Charleston [S.C.]1
My Dear Sir
Here is one request which Iwish to prefer on my own behalf.
Mrs Conner & myself desire the pleasure of seeing Mrs. Polk & yourself & any other friends that may be with you, at Our House the first evening that your public duties will permit after your arrival.
I feel that we have some claim upon you & Iprefer it in behalf of our common Mother the glorious old county of Mecklenburgh & I shall flatter myself that the appeal is not in vain.
H. W CONNER
ALS. DLC–JKP. Addressed to “Jas. K. Polk Esqr & Lady/Washington City.” See Conner’s other letter of February 22, 1849.
