Cottage Farm, Brookline, October 10, 1856.
My Dear Sir, —
Having been informed that you contemplate making a visit to Boston, and knowing
how difficult it will be for you to avoid the fatigue and excitement which must
attend your stay within the city, I beg to offer you a home at my house.
You may prefer to be with some one of those who agree with
you in regard to party politics, and you will without doubt have many
invitations from nearer and dearer friends than I am; but I assure you that no
one will give you a more cordial welcome.
With much regard,
yours truly,
A. A. L.
