I have received your
letter of the 16th, and somehow felt unusually gratified that you had been
elected senator for the fifth time in the State of Ohio. This is a great honor,
and I feel my full share of satisfaction. I believe the Senate of the United
States to be the equal in intellectual capacity of any deliberative body on
earth….
