Washington 24th Dec ‘55
My dear Seward,
I hoped to meet you to-
day at the Senate Chamber
& tell you of the delight with
which I have followed you in
your admirable address. You
have made the Puritan
vindicate
A dutch or Africaner woman • mistress •
yourself & my-
self & all of us. The
work was completely done.
I long to hear of your
personal experience. I hope

you did not dislike Massa-
chusetts
. It has produced
mean souls; I confess; but
generous souls too.
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner
