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.
