WASHINGTON, D. C.,
June 14, 1866.
MY SWEET WIFE: I
read with genuine sympathy for you the beautiful talk you send me about the
dear one who is gone. I wish you were here to talk with me and let me fondle
you, as you talk about him. But I suppose you are right. Well, I hope it will
not be long.
We passed the plan
of Reconstruction as it came from the Senate. No man elected, or claiming to
be, Union, voted against it. Raymond, Green Clay Smith, and all were right.
Rousseau was absent, perhaps purposely.
General Crook and
wife are still here. I shall not room here next session, as I mean to have you
with me as much [as] possible. I consult you as to the rooms I shall engage
before I go home. I am inclined to go to the Avenue House. Other Ohio men talk
of it. What say you?
