Niertz tells Slifer that the Agricultural Society met to consider whether or not to hold a fair, and will meet again to further discuss the question. He requests Slifer’s presence at that meeting, if possible, to give his views. Many in the Society do not think it is prudent "on account of the condition of our national affairs."
