e spring; and I shall go home loaded with messages of kindness and friendship for you. Edward Everett, while Minister to England, wrote, Aug. 11, 1843: I often hear you spoken of with the greatest kindness,— particularly in the Carlisle and Sutherland families. Dr. Howe wrote, Aug. 2, 1843: I have been again and again gratified, and my heart has thrilled with pleasure, at hearing the warm and affectionate expressions of regard which the mention of your name invariably draws out.

Your countenance, as I saw you before me while I was speaking, was better than an army for strength and succor. You know the feeling with which I undertook the duty, and my determination to express exactly and unreservedly what I thought.
