George William Curtis to Charles Eliot Norton, December 10, 1862

Lowell, December 10, '62.

I had a very large audience this evening, and the lecture was admirably received. One man said, in the Cambridge vein, “He is a very dangerous man, he puts it so plausibly!” An American says so of the doctrine of the Declaration! You see there is work before us.
