three o'clock, when the office closed. The first day I dined with Samuel Ward, where we had an accidental, but very pleasant, reunion of several of our friends,—Lieber, Cogswell, Robert Walsh, Chevalier Nordine. On the next day I dined with the Misses Ward; last evening, with Mrs. Oakey; this morning I breakfasted with Sedgwick, to meet Bryant. I shall not get through my business till Monday: so, Tuesday morning, I shall leave for Hudson; then across the country to Boston, stopping at Stockbridge for a few hours,—perhaps at Springfield, where some of my witnesses reside; perhaps I may be obliged to go to Hartford and New Haven.

I wish you could see the hills of Berkshire, and the green shade which embowers the railroad between Pittsfield and Springfield; then the valley of the Connecticut,—at least, as far as Northampton, a lovely village. But Catskill and West Point are better worth seeing even than all these. Ever affectionately yours, Charles Sumner. To Lord Morpeth. Boston, Oct. 1, 1842. my dear Morpeth,—As long as I could, I observed you on the taffrail of the Great Western, and then moved

Ward, he drove to Stockbridge and passed the day at Charles Sedgwick's, Charles Sedgwick was clerk of the courts of Berksixty-four.
