ved that the North would be practically divided when the conflict came; but I did not expect the ferocious unity and high-strung determination which are now witnessed. . . . I feel proud of the activity and vigor displayed by my State. Again, June 2:— I do not doubt that England will settle down into just relations to our government if she is not prevented by sinister influences. There has been precipitation on her part, caused naturally by our short-coming here, and also by the Londod part, and changing his tone, proceeded to consider the case. Sumner afterwards called the attention of the Senate to Stanly's proceedings, in remarks and resolutions which denied the authority of the Executive to appoint military governors. June 2 and 6. 1862 (Works, vol. VII. pp. 112-115, 119,120).

I congratulate you upon this work, which will give you fame. More than this, it will be useful. To the Duchess of Argyll, June 2:— The country is tranquil, while war seems to be putting forth new efforts on all sides. The North was never more prosperous; there is nothing in its streets or its fields to show the contest in which we are engaged. Wages are high, business is active, and every form of industry is well rewarded.

Nicolay and Hay's Life of Lincoln, vol. IX. pp. 57, 58. and the New York Independent. June 2. The same paper, June 16, gives its support to the nomination, but without enthusiasm. The effort for another nomination did not end with the convention. Naturally B. F. Wade, senator, and Henry Winter Davis, representative, were earnest in it; but a large number of public men were in sympathy with them. Senator Grimes held their view of Mr. Lincoln's limitations.

On another he had for his companion on a drive to Arlington the English philanthropist, Miss Mary Carpenter. Later in May, for the first time since he absented himself from the Senate, more than five months before, he resumed the annotation and revision of his Works; and on that errand began to make visits to the Congressional Library. He wrote, June 2:I have gained in strength daily for the last month, and begin to have a sense of health, so that for ten days I have done a little work. Two days later he found himself weak again; but this weakness shortly gave way to an increasing sense of health. The potions of strychnine ended July 11. At the close of the month, Dr. Brown-Sequard returned to Europe, and medical treatment for the present ended. The doctor seemed to be keeping up a practice in both hemispheres, and was in Boston the
