"_Nov. 6, 1860_.
"MY DEAR SIR,--I cannot content myself with a mere formal
acknowledgment of your admirable pamphlet, which I have read with
extreme pleasure. Nothing which I have met with on the dreadful subject
which now convulses the country has seemed to me more clearly or
forcibly urged.
"I remain, dear sir, with high respect,
"Very truly yours,
"EDWARD EVERETT."
