AUG. 28.
I got off a speech yesterday; but it was too late to let you know by yesterday's mail. The Southern men tried to stop me by starting points of order. But it was always without reason: so I went on, and gave them a pretty strong blast. I think it best to show them that they can't stop debate; that, the more they try, the more it won't stop.
I wish I could be at home to behold the flowers and their beholders; but it is of no use to talk about that at present.
