Daniel Webster to Edward Everett, March 21, 1851

Washington, March 21, 1851.

MY DEAR SIR,—Mr. Abbot is right. I did repeat the words. I did say, "Let it rise, let it rise, till it meet, &c."

I have no objection to have the second Bunker Hill oration immediately follow the first, and this again to be followed by whatever part you think it worth while to publish of my article in the North American Review.

I presume you would hardly think of publishing it all. I looked over a few of the first pages the other day, and thought they read well.

I suppose you will prepare a note, more or less extended, from Mr. Frothingham's book.

DAN'L WEBSTER.
