November, 1846.
My Dear Sumner: — I
feel as though I had swallowed a pepper corn, when I think that no one dares
to be made a martyr of in the cause of humanity. Do you ascertain whether
the Natives' have nominated in your place; also what is the result of the
mission to Adams; and let me know by a messenger. I think I can find a man
during the night who will have the courage to do what, as yet, you and I have
not dared to do.
Ever yours,
S. G. Howe (very mad!)
