Washington (United States) (search for this): chapter 35
Xxxiv. The morning of the last day of April, Mr. Wilkeson, the head of the New York Tribune bureau of correspondence in Washington at that period, called upon me with his sister-in-law, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, well known for her radical views on political and social questions, who wished an introduction to the President. Later in the day, after the accustomed pressure of visitors had subsided, I knocked at the door of the President's study, and asked if I might bring up two or three New York friends. Mr. Lincoln fortunately was alone, and at once accorded the desired permission. Laying aside his papers, as we entered, he turned around in his chair for a leisurely conversation. One of the party took occasion shortly to endorse very decidedly the Amnesty Proclamation, which had been severely censured by many friends of the Administration. This approval appeared to touch Mr. Lincoln deeply. He said, with a great deal of emphasis, and with an expression of countenance I sh

He said, with a great deal of emphasis, and with an expression of countenance I shall never forget, When a man is sincerely penitent for his misdeeds, and gives satisfactory evidence of the same, he can safely be pardoned, and there is no exception to the rule. Soon afterward he mentioned having received a visit the night before from Colonel Moody, the fighting Methodist parson; as he was called in Tennessee, who had come on to attend the Philadelphia Conference.
