Title: Union League House, No. 1216 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, October 20th, 1864 Dear sir, We have reason to believe that you will agree with us in regarding the soldiers' vote, at the coming presidential election, as of the highest importance. It is known that many votes were lost at the late state election, from inattention to the provisions of the law passed on the 25th of August last, regulating elections by soldiers in actual military service. Any measures which may be adopted by the State Committee, by the Union League, which we represent, or by other patriotic bodies working in cordial co-operation with both, will be of no avail, unless the soldier is made secure of his right to vote

Every patriot citizen is called upon to meet his fellow-citizens in council, at 8 o'clock to-night, at Reliance Engine House, in Broad St., and devise such measures as will best enable our borough and neighborhood to do its share toward responding to the proclamation.

Let us one and all meet together and put the matter through! The foe is at our doors! What can be done is to be done quickly, yes, at once! Our country, our state calls us to the defense of the Union, the Constitution, our firesides, and our homes!
