The only letter of any general interest that has been found, dating from the first four or five months after his return, is the following:— To Sir Edmund Head, Bart., Toronto. Boston, November 18, 1857. dear Head,—The last time I saw you, I think you were in the hands of a London police officer. See ante, p. 398.
