COLUMBUS, November 11, 1868.
DEAR UNCLE:—We are jogging along as usual a little more to do than heretofore. The Legislature meeting soon and various matters overlooked claiming attention.
I spent the election day [at Cincinnati] looking at Mr. Probasco's fine pictures, statuary, library, and house. The house is much the finest I ever was in. He has a few pictures of all peoples-English, German, French, Italian, Asiatic, etc. He prefers French art to any other.
We hope to spend Thanksgiving with you and shall do so if not prevented by something I don't now foresee. Grant's election was a happy thing. He seems to behave admirably. The effect South and everywhere seems good.
