Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Letters and Journals of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Chapter 2: the Worcester period (search)
r, I should probably have gone on at once, to act at least temporarily as his counsel. A young man from Boston named Hoyt has gone on for this, and probably Montgomery Blair, of Washington, will be there to-day, to conduct the case. Of Frank Sanborn, one of the active participants in the Brown conspiracy, Mr. Higginson had written in 1855: We had a pleasant visit last week from the most interesting young man of the day, Frank Sanborn, a Senior at Cambridge, and editor of the HarvardFrank Sanborn, a Senior at Cambridge, and editor of the Harvard magazine. He is three inches above my head and very handsome, a person of great talent and noble character; and did you never hear of his romantic engagement, marriage, and bereavement? He is only twenty-three now. Worcester, November 5, 1859 Dearest Mother: . . Four days I spent in going to the Adirondacks for Mrs. Brown and then another in Boston about her affairs.

Frank Sanborn is to stop here to-morrow, safe back from the same ground I am going over. August 31 Some good news and some bad — the good being that our private advices state that things really are much better than is represented, in Kansas; the leading Missourians are making great efforts to raise men to invade, but find great reluctance to follow.

That kingfisher, for instance, who lives among the myriad birds and boys of the lake as lonely as an eagle on a mountain: no one ever finds his nest, no one sees him near his young, no one watches his flight or tracks his migration; yet every year he comes silently and fills the lake with his rattle. To-day went down under a gray sky with Sanborn to see a man go down in a submarine armor to inspect the new causeway; he looked like a gigantic lobster or (F. S. said) a teapot; and it was pretty to trace his subaqueous path by the bubbles coming to the surface. I wonder if in higher spheres they trace us so. October, 1861 Coming homeward, listened to my crickets with quiet delight. I may well call them mine, since no one else seems to notice their little ways.
