nd, and that until that was answered we had no case; that Adams was worsted in the controversy. Of course I do not give any reply to all this, as my object is simply to let you see the importance of showing the true character of that Portuguese precedent. Mr. hunter has had a search at the state department, and then at the treasury, without finding any trace of the paper you desire. He has sent to the New York custom-house, where it may be. The treasury papers were all destroyed by fire in 1830, or thereabout. Perhaps this paper perished then. But finish your article, and then gather all your sheaves together in a big pamphlet. Remember me kindly to Judge Fletcher when you see him. To Mr. Bright, Jan. 1, 1866:— I have just read your magnificent speech, At Birmingham, Dec. 14, 1865, chiefly on the enlargement of the franchise. I need not say, with perfect sympathy.

As Sumner left for Washington in November, 1867, he bade a final adieu to the paternal home in Boston, 20 Hancock Street, where he had lived since its purchase by his father in 1830. During the last weeks he was engaged in sorting family papers and clearing the house for its new proprietor. This was not a cheery task; and as he went through it, his thoughts were on his recent domestic calamity. To Longfellow he said: I have buried from this house my father, my mother, a brother and sister; and now I am leaving it, the deadest of them all. Adams's Biography of Dana, vol. II. p. 339. Mr. Dana did not report him accurately, for he had buried three sisters from it. Longfellow wrote in h

iry about Daunou interested me, as I have his works in twenty volumes, which I brought home sixteen years ago, my friend George V. Greene, who is much of an invalid, was cheered by the allusion to him at Rome. I think often of your kindness when we met. By the time you receive this I shall be on my way to Washington, where I expect to find that most interesting manuscript in a binding not unworthy of it. The original draft of the Life, Trial, and Death of Socrates, written by Mr. Grote in 1830-1831, and laid by for forty years, another and more complete account being drawn up by the author for his published history. The first was given to Sumner in 1872 by Mrs. Grote. Among Sumner's published papers during the year were open letters on civil rights to the colored people; Dec. 19, 1872. Boston Journal, Dec. 20. 1872; April 16, 1873. Works, vol. XV. pp. 266, 267. June 22, Ibid., pp. 268, 269. July 29, Ibid., pp. 275-278. a reply to the President of Hayti, who had testified
