Boston 11th Nov. ‘55My dear Seward,
At this moment we
have in Mass. the best
party, composed of the best
men, with the best char-
acters & best talents, that
has ever been in Massa-
chusetts - & devoted to the
best cause. It is hu-
miliating that this American
faction should have thus
triumphed; but here in
Page 2

Mass it was done only
through professions of freedom.
Large numbers of true
men were thus carried
off into this false coup.
I first met your
Buffalo speech in an Iowa
paper – next in the
Era. It is worthy of
the cause & of your-
self.
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner
