Marked "Strictly confidential" at top. Fine. POLITICAL SKULLDUGGERY IN PENNSYLVANIA as Buchanan gears up for his Senate reelection campaign, and mentions Andrew Jackson Lewis Cass, and Richard M. Johnson. "Ere this," he writes Patton, "you will have learned [of] the Cass movement & how easy it is for some people to abandon the brave and benevolent Johnson for any person whom they may believe to be more available.
