Centreville, Aug. 13, 1863.
One of my beliefs is that no two persons ought to believe
exactly alike; that truth must be seen from different sides by different
people, — or rather that different views of truth must, to persons of differing
character and temperament, present themselves with different degrees of reality
and importance, and that each person must cling to the one which is most real,
most internal, most near to him.
