Senator Lewis Cass to Senator Daniel S. Dickinson, May 27, 1852

WASHINGTON, May 27, 1852.

MY DEAR SIR-I drop you this hasty note, in the midst of the bustle of the Senate, to say I have just received your letter, and wholly approve your course as to coming here. You are right, and I told B—— so this morning. As to your course, my friend, I cannot talk of such a thing; I know you are as true a man as ever walked the earth—I may say, the very model of true fidelity. There, you have my heart.

Ever your true friend,

LEWIS CASS.
