Senator James W. Grimes to Elizabeth Nealley Grimes, May 24, 1864

May 24th. — As you learn by the papers, I made a speech yesterday, but I did not, as they say I did, talk two hours. I think I made a good speech, and such seems to be the general impression, but you will see it in a few days, and can judge for yourself. At least there was no clap-trap and humbug about it.
