January 1,1863.
I shall be in Washington on the second Sunday in January,
and cannot exchange with you on that day. I am sorry it happens so, for I
wished to have an exchange with you.
This is the great day which separates forever the people of
this Union from slavery and slaveholding, — for the border slavery will fall of
itself soon.
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth, peace, good will
to men.
