Washington, 9th Aug., '54.
My Dear Friend —Your speech on temperance has made a
convert in Francis Markoe, Esq., of the State Department, occupying an
important bureau there, who expresses an admiration of it without stint. He
wishes some twenty-five copies to circulate among friends. Will you send them
to him with your frank?
I leave to-morrow for the North, regretting much not to see
you again before I go — regretting more that you forbid mc to hope to see you
next winter when I return to renew our struggle.
You ought not to desert!
Ever yours,
Charles Sumner.
