As to the black race he wrote later, that whichever way the war ends, it will leave the prospects of that race at least materially better than it found them, with no intimation that their fate would be better in the hands of a government which had proclaimed emancipation than in those of one founded on slavery as a corner-stone. Even after the capture of Vicksburg and Lee's retreat from Gettysburg, in letters of Nov. 5, 1863, and Feb. 1, 1864, he treated the re-establishment of the Union as a contingency wholly unattainable, saying at the last-named date, Ever since the development of an earnest purpose in the South, my opinion has remained absolutely the same.

Sumner's answer disturbed some of his Hebrew friends, who expressed their dissent in letters to him. John Sherman approved, Feb. 8, 1869, in the Senate such recognition.— Duties will keep me here, so that I cannot be with you to listen to the arguments and counsels by which you will inaugurate your new movement.
