Sent a letter to Chase in reply to his rather captious
communication concerning the Ann Hamilton and the Princeton. Shall not be surprised
if he takes offense, for I think I have put him in the wrong, and this is to
him very uncongenial. In this respect he differs greatly from Seward, who will
receive correction very easily, provided others do not know it.
