To James Madison from Robert Patton, 12 October 1808
6 oClock Wednesday morning October 12, 1808.
I have the pleasure to inform you that, one of the inspectors of our election has this moment called on me, & informs, that the republican Sistem in this City has been carried in toto. Simon Snyder has a majority of about 162. The Feds: calculate on having a Majority for Ross of from Six to eight hundred. Yours &c
Robt: Patton
