You may have noticed
that I have been in Connecticut making two speeches. That at Bridgeport is
reported in full in "The New York Times" of yesterday. Our difficulties
here are not over; Johnson1 is suspicious of every one, and I fear
will drift into his old party relations. If so, he will carry with him but
little peace and prestige, and will soon be in deserved disgrace. It is also
evident that Grant has some political aspirations and can, if he wishes it,
easily attain the Presidency. . . .
Affectionately yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.
