He told me more about his native Island than I had ever learned from all other sources; and as I desired it, he spoke freely about himself. His ancestors had been slaves. He had been early sent to Europe for his education, and entering the public service on his return, he was gratified with the appointment to Washington on the recognition of his Republic. He spoke with veneration of Mr. Lincoln, and the hearty reception he had given him—but of Mr. Sumner he spoke with the deepest affection. The name of no American, he said, is so dear to the Haytien people as Charles Sumner—I cannot even except Washington himself. He left us only his grand example.

Young as he is—and he cannot be over 27—he has not only been superbly educated, but he has done a great deal of hard thinking. The study of government, especially the history of Free States, seems to have had for him a fascination; while his familiarity with our history and institutions is as striking as De Tocqueville's or Chevalier's. I came away altogether captivated. He is the most accomplished and gentlemanly foreigner I have met in Washington among the whole diplomatic corps.
