WASHINGTON, D. C.
March 4, 1866.
MY DEAR UNCLE:— We
are still not clear as to the chances of harmony with the President. He no
doubt differs and has all along avowedly and openly differed with us on some
important matters. At the time of his unfortunate talk on the 22nd he seemed to
be surrounded and possessed by all manner of evil influences. He now seems to
feel that he was misled and is really anxious to conciliate. If he signs [the]
Civil Rights Bill and the Tennessee Resolution which will both pass soon, the
chances are that a complete rupture will be avoided. Otherwise, otherwise. It
is an interesting time to be here and I enjoy it very much now, the last three
weeks more than ever before.
My ever hopeful
temper is a good thing in these perplexing and exciting times.
