A few friends occupied his guest chamber,—Dr. Palfrey, E. L. Pierce, Dr. S. G. Howe, G. W. Greene, J. B. Smith, and M. Milmore,—while Emerson, Whittier, Agassiz, Bemis, G. W. Curtis, and James A. Hamilton received invitations which they were unable to accept. To Whittier he wrote: It will be a delight and a solace to me if I know that you are under my roof. he kept aloof from parties, but he could now return the courtesies which he had been receiving as a bachelor.

umner had hampered the business of the state department by pigeon-holing treaties for months, and further, in mentioning to George William Curtis that he had left a clean docket when leaving the committee, had not told Mr. Curtis the facts, and had made these statements knowing them to be falsehoods. The general offered, as he said at the time to Mr. Curtis, to prove his assertion by the records of the state department, and afterwards gave Mr. Curtis a list which he had procured from it (G. W. Curtis in the New York Herald, Nov. 13, 1877; Harper's Weekly, Dec. 8. 1877, March 16, 1878). General Grant, however, in an interview at Cairo, reported in the New York Herald, Feb. 22, 1878, disclaimed so much of the interview in Scotland as made him impute intentional falsehood to Sumner. It is, however, curious to note that the main subject of this interview was the leader in Harper's Weekly, Dec. 8, 1877, which explicitly stated that, as now shown by the divulged records of the Senate Sumne

M., giving him hearty hand-shakes, and waving their handkerchiefs from the tender. Boston Journal, September 3; Boston Advertiser, September 4; Boston Commonwealth, September 7. For the time there was much party bitterness towards Sumner, which he sorely felt; but the better sort, even among Republican leaders, recognized the rectitude of his purpose. G. W. Curtis, in Harper's Weekly, September 21. assured him that the prayers of thousands of true hearts go with him, invoking for him the health which is here denied; and speaking from the platform, the same editor said: I shall never mention Mr. Sumner's name without the utmost affection, respect, and gratitude. ... May the soft air of the Mediterranean renew that strength spent in our service! May he return—the election over — to find that we have all been true to Charles Sumner! Agassiz, just
