Boston 15th Oct. ‘55
My dear Seward,
I have devoured your
speech with admiration & de-
light. The latter half I
read aloud to the Longfellows
who enjoyed it with me.
It is very finely thought &
composed.
I am so happy that you &
I are at last on the same
platform & in the same
political pew. I feel stronger

for it.
I am to say something
soon; but I know not
what argument to build.
Remember me most
kindly to Mrs Seward
who, I trust, is well
at last.
Ever sincerely yours,
Charles Sumner
