Dear Mr. Nicholls: ave I write to say that I have not en!ns" tirely given up hope of the passage ^n" of the Burnett Immigration Bill through the Senate at this session, and urfc to ask you to keep a watch out for gt. the same if it should be passed in her that body and come back to the House for action on the Senate Amendments. I know the earnestness and zeal with which you have always cham-?ioned this Bill, and the fact that I !ss have relied on you whenever the battle has been on for the bill causes me to gh, invoke your continued active aid if re- the Bill should reach the House again i a towards the close of the session, ich. It may be of purpose of the enemies of the Bill to try to get it through ar the Senate and before the House when its friends are not on their guard, and . in that way either defeat its passage ' or postpone it until the next session. The bill has had no more loyal supand porter than yourself, and I, therefore. Tew write you as one of our trusted lieuto tenants in securing this much needed C. legislation.
