My dear Seward,
Mr Hopkins

, who
writes the enclosed letter,
is a faithful Republi-
can, of great influ-
ence & a leading mem-
ber of the Legislature. If
you have not time or
disposition to answer his
inquiry, let it alone,

& he will appreciate your
reserve.
Do you circumnavi-
gate the globe? –
France looms already
before me.
I am better now
than ever; but I can-
not sit up through the
the whole day.
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner
