My dear Henry
I am glad Rufus
King
Birth: 1795 Death: 1867-07-09
is with you — if it is ‘our
Rufus’ as I suppose – he is
one for whom I have a
penchant — I am just
recovering from my weekly
attack of neuralgia which
occupies about 2 days —
Fred
Birth: 1830-07-08 Death: 1915-04-25
left me this morning —
he read for me Sumners
Birth: 1811-01-06 Death: 1874-03-11

speech which is very good,
excellent, though the torrent
of applause which yours elicited
at present overwhelms every
thing else, here — I will

try to write him a line
tomorrow — You have excited
my curiosity to hear Toombs
Birth: 1810-07-02 Death: 1885-12-15

I will try to read some of
it — If you do not
object to bringing Louisa Weightman
Birth: 1843-02-20 Death: 1932-12-23

home with you some time
or another, Fanny
Birth: 1844-12-09 Death: 1866-10-29
wishes
this letter sent to her
I wish for 100 copies of
your speech and some
half dozen ^each^ of the best
of the others opposed to
Nebraska — your ^own^
Frances —
Read the little letter if
you have time —
