A friend of mine, Dr. Charles Robinson, one of the noblest
men I ever knew, is at this moment a prisoner, guarded by the troops of the
Federal Government, though he has done nothing but what you or I would have
been proud to do. He is not only a patriot, but he is a lover of the
constitution and the laws. In order to save him from trouble, I have taken for
him, from the commencement, the highest legal advice in Massachusetts, and he
has followed it.
