You have got your Elephant--you would have him--now shoulder him! He is not so very heavy, after all.

As I seem to displease you equally when I try to keep you out of trouble, and when, having rushed in in spite of me, I try to help you in the struggle you have unwisely provoked, I must keep neutral, so far as may be hereafter.

Yours, (Signed) "HORACE GREELEY.

MEDILL, Esq., Chicago, (very) Ill.
"What have I ever said in favor of 'Negro equality' with reference to your fight?
I recollect nothing." The above is from a manuscript copy of Greeley's letter, but it bears internal evidence of genuineness.
