Are you not afraid, my dear cousin, that I shall be “upsot”
with all that is said about me in reference to the presidency? I send you a
specimen: They say here that my chances are much better than those of anybody
else. But do not be alarmed. I am not deceived, or elated, in the least. Positively
I do not wish for it, and tell everybody that no one can do me so much
injury in any way as by mentioning my name — and I believe that people
are satisfied of my sincerity. The truth is, I am tired of all such subjects,
and sometimes feel as if I would resign and go home.
