If I write strongly, it is because I feel strongly; for my constant and intimate intercourse with the President, beginning with the fourth of March, not only binds me peculiarly to his Administration, but gives me a personal as well as a political interest in seeing that justice is done him.
Believe me, my dear Sir,
With much regard,
Ever faithfully yours,
Charles Sumner.
