have now before me your letter of Oct. 15. It is quite short; but has pleased me, because it is correctly written; and I have read it over and over several times. It will be well to accustom yourself to habits of composition, as, in this way, you will learn to write with facility and correctness. I need not enlarge to a boy of your age and disposition on the vast importance of this accomplishment. One of my highest pleasures on my return to Boston will consist in finding you and Mary and Julia all lovers of knowledge and truth,—all anxious to employ every moment in storing the mind, and in doing something useful.

Her daughter Julia became the wife of Professor Hagen, of Heidelberg, afterwards of Berne, and died about 1850. particularly to Fraulein Julia; and present my affectionate salutations to all your family. I hope your younger children are as healthy and happy as thFraulein Julia; and present my affectionate salutations to all your family. I hope your younger children are as healthy and happy as they appeared when I had the pleasure of seeing them. Give my best regards to Grosch, Dr. Lambert Grosch, a law pupil of Professor Mittermaier, and a magistrate, who died in 1875. and tell him that I am his debtor for a long and most interesting letter, and that I shall write him very soon. You have a young American—Shaw—at Heidelberg. How does he do? Believe me ever, my dear friend, most truly and sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. P. S. Your article on criminal legislation in German

ave been for months. You know Mary has not been strong. She has been obliged to abandon her studies; but I think she has been gaining in strength for some time. Julia is very studious and attentive. She is growing up to be a delightful and most lovable person. At the last news from George, he was in Paris and about to go to Spo Mr. Bates, You will find him a person of sterling honesty and sense. His son-in-law, Mr. Van de Weyer, the Belgian Minister, has a great deal of talent.. . . Julia is still young enough to be happy. She has a bright, cheerful nature, from which I expect much; and a natural grace and sensibility which will temper her womanhoormaier, Very sincerely yours, Charles Sumner. To Longfellow he wrote, Aug. 20, 1842:— I have been away on a short journey with my two sisters, Mary and Julia, and have enjoyed not a little their enjoyment of life and new scenes. Howe started in company. We went to Springfield; thence made an excursion to Chicopee; the

rded in the statutes of the realm. All this sermonizing and exhorting will do no good, I suppose; but I have done what I could. And now, if you will, go on, neglect exercise, neglect sleep, study late and early, stoop over your table, work yourself to death, grieve all your friends and break my heart; for where, dear Charlie, at my time of life, shall I find a friend to love as I love you? Jan. 1, 1844. A happy New Year to you, dear Charlie,—the first I have wished to any one, save Julia. I want a gift, a great favor, from you. Do you promise? I know you do. Well, after you have read this, write a note to Dr. James Jackson, and ask him to name a time when he can talk a half-hour with you. Go and submit your whole case to him; tell him, if you will, that you are as strong as a bullock; that you can digest as many oysters even as Felton that you care for nothing: but tell him your hereditary and constitutional peculiarities of body, your mode of life, your habits,—every thi

Mary and Julia are at Waltham; and Mary seems to gain in strength, or at least to hold her own,—so as for the time to banish the gloomy anxieties which I entertained six weeks agd another left who has little pleasure in staying? To his brother George. Boston, Aug. 15, 1844. my dear George,—You see that I still use the handwriting of Julia; for the fever still pertinaciously occupies my hands. I have been slowly gaining in strength since my letter by the last steamer, and have driven some nine or ted at the thought of Mary, with a disease, like stern destiny, preying upon her: and yet she has been spared longer than I had once ventured to hope. A letter from Julia yesterday mentioned that Mary had withdrawn to her chamber, which she will never leave, except for Paradise. I hope that you and your wife will find a few moments
