AUGUST BELMONT TO TILDEN
Reading edition
"Sunday Morning, Nov. 11, '76.
"My dear Governor,—The Herald and Post have the following despatch from Conover on their bulletin:
"'The agony is over. Florida has gone Democratic.' Gold has at once declined from 1093⁄4, 7⁄8 to 1091⁄4, and is now 1093⁄8.
"God grant that Conover's telegram may be confirmed.
"No other solution but your election can end the agony of the country and prevent the most disastrous consequences.
"Yours most truly, "August Belmont."
