Your letter finds me in the midst of care, labor, and preparation for removal to Washington.
Pardon me, therefore, if I write briefly. You must see me when the session of Congress commences, that I may say much for which there is not space or time on paper. Nobody appreciates more highly than I do your patriotism and your valuable services with mind and pen through so many years.
Yours faithfully and truly,
Robert C. Schenck.[12]
London, E. C., July 30, 1872.
Dear Miss Carroll:
I have read with pleasure the pamphlet you were so kind as to send me, and am glad to see that your claim is so strongly endorsed—so strongly that it can hardly be ignored by Congress.
Very truly yours,
H. McCulloch.[13]
Washington City, January 20, 1873.
My Dear Miss Carroll:
I owe you an humble apology for not calling to pay my respects to you, as I intended to do; but I have been so occupied with numerous engagements that the purpose indicated escaped my recollection until I was on the point of leaving for my home in Connecticut, and can only now proffer to you my cordial and heartfelt wishes for your health, prosperity, and happiness.
