Morrisania, August 31, 1860.
My Dear, Dear Yankee:
I got your letter. How can you be so tender-hearted and take seriously my silly
abusing you? It was only to tease. Know it once for all, that you are among the
few whom I never doubt. I hope ardently, too, that you will succeed for your
brother.
Good-by, good-by.
Gurowski.
If you make speeches, put me in as Sumner did; will be a
capital advertisement. I begin to be Yankee.
Gur.
