Soule, when in Boston the next summer, mentiSoule, when in Boston the next summer, mentioned Sumner with great respect and regard. （Henry Wilson's letter to Sumner, June 23, 1852.) He wrote to his brother George, April 12, 1852: In the debate on intervention, Soule made a brilliant speech. He is the most polished speaker and gentleman of the Senate.
