Saw Dr. Howe this afternoon: he looks better, in fine health
and spirits. I went with him to the Faneuil Hall meeting of Free-soilers.
Sumner was on his legs — a fine speaker, a very sincere and good fellow, only
he wants courage. Howe is braver and richer in ideas, but not so well trained
for literary work.
