Senator James W. Grimes to Elizabeth S. Nealley Grimes, Sunday, December 11, 1859

I have just been to church, and heard a long and not remarkably entertaining sermon.

I have about as much as I can do to restrain myself from plunging into the debate in the Senate on John Brown, but I exercise self-denial, and do not.
