Senate Chamber-
Aug. 26th ‘52
Dear Mrs Seward,
Your husband
Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10
showedme sometime ago a letter
in which you spoke kindly
of me. The confidence you
put in me I hope that
I yesterday vindicated
A dutch or Africaner woman • mistress •
in the Senate.
The enclosed note from
Mrs Fish
Birth: 1816-12-17 Death: 1887-06-30
, I think, youwill read with interest. I
cannot resist the tempta-
tion to send it to you
for yr private eye.
As I shall be obliged to
remain here for some
days after the session,
you can return it to
me at Washington.
Believe me ever
Sincerely & gratefully yours
Charles Sumner
P.S. I have been in my seat
daily, without the loss of
a single day, during this
session, & I am weary.
I long for rest. But at
home work is before me.
