Dear Mrs Seward,
I must felicitate
you on the return of
the wanderers
Unknown Birth: 1801-05-16 Death: 1872-10-10, & the
wonderful success of the
whole expedition. At
each speech, as I
read it, I marvelled
more & more. I know
nothing like such a
succession of speeches

by any American.
I hope to see them
all collected in a
vol.
It was kind in
you to send me that
pleasant & well-
written extract from
yr daughter’s
It was done with

the skill of a practiced
writer. I shall take the
liberty of showing it to
Mr
who, I am sure, will
enjoy it.
I have just seen
young Charles Adams
who has returned well,
but mad for the
West. He thinks they

have larger heads there
than we have-shrunk
up as we are. I
doubt. But I am
always glad to hear good
things of my fellow-men,
especially when all tells
for our side.
Good bye!
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner
