Excerpt from The Correspondence of John Lothrop Motley, Vol. 2 of 2 My dearest Mary, - This is only a note, because I would not let the steamer from New York of day after to-morrow go without a greeting from me. There is absolutely nothing new in the political world since I wrote last. By the way, by the mid-week steamer I sent rather a lengthy epistle to the Duke of Argyll, which I hope that he will pardon in two respects - first, its unconscionable length, and secondly, for talking very plainly about the state of public feeling here. I felt that I could not pay a higher compliment to his intellect and his candour than to make a kind of general statement, without mincing matters.
