meshed in any of the tempting arrangements for mere political success. He is so completely committed to our cause that he can hope for nothing except by its triumph. I know no one who has spoken a stronger or more timely word for us than he has. I am much attached to him personally. I admire his abilities, and am grateful for what he has done; but I feel that if me would surrender himself more unreservedly to the cause he would be more effective still. Few have such powers. Again, November 19— I do not see our future on the Presidential question. The recent declaration of Toombs seems ominous of a break-up, in which I should rejoice. I long to see men who really think alike on national politics acting together. The Whigs [in Massachusetts] are in despair. They confess that they are badly beaten. The coalition has been sustained and its candidate. Mr. Winthrop was not again a candidate for office. He acted in 1852 with the Whigs; in 1856, 1860, and 1864 he oppos

A consultation of the doctor with Trousseau, the eminent French physician, and with Dr. Hayward, resulted in an approval of the previous treatment, as well as the decision of his physician that he should pass the winter in the south of France, and try dry cupping on the spine and certain drugs. Letters of Dr. Brown-Sequard and Dr. Hayward, written November 19 and 20, are printed in the New York Tribune, December 16, and Boston Advertiser, Dec. 17, 1858. Letters from friends showed their sustained sympathy. John Jay wrote, Oct. 18, 1858:— We have all thought of you, bearing so heroically your martyr pains; and even our youngest children never name you without emotion. my last letter from you was from Paris, giving so graphic an account of your treatment by fire and poison. . . .
