Senator John Sherman to General William T. Sherman, October 10, 1869

MANSFIELD, OHIO, Oct. 10, 1869.

Dear Brother: The panic in New York, though disastrous to a few, will do good. It will prove the absolute necessity of getting upon a specie basis. This process is a hard one and will affect the popularity of Grant's administration, but it must be gone through with. . . .

Affectionately,
JOHN SHERMAN.
