27/42 James and I, as you know, never talk politics. I am distressed to believe as I do that he will vote for Fremont; that 'the great, the appalling issue,' as Mr.Buchanan says, 'is union or disunion' does not seem to affect him. I read Forney's paper, and James reads that wild abolition _Tribune_. It is very dreadful, and I am without any one I can talk to. My much loved rector is an extreme antislavery man. |
