Senator Charles Sumner to George L. Stearns, March 2, 1860

SENATE CHAMBER, 2d March, ’60.

MY DEAR SIR:

With mortification I confess that I have lost your bill with your receipt.

On receiving it I placed it carefully in one of my drawers, and remember afterwards taking it out and folding; but I have not seen it since; nor can I find it. I suppose it must have been destroyed with other papers of less value.

* * * * * * * * * * *

I congratulate you upon your successful visit to this Slave-pen.

Ever faithfully yours,

CHARLES SUMNER.
