anything being done for me. In this, I very
much fear, they have succeeded.
" Write me, my dear friend, your candid opinion
about everything. I wished to be made better
off, quite as much to improve your condition as
well as for myself. * * * Two weeks
ago, dear Lizzie, we were in that den of discom-
fort and dirt. Now we are far asunder. Every
other day, for the past week, I have had a chill,
brought on by excitement and suffering of mind.
In the midst of it I have moved into my winter
quarters, and am now very comfortably situated.
My parlor and bedroom are very sweetly furnished. I am lodged in a handsome house, a very
kind, good, quiet family, and their meals are excellent. I consider myself fortunate in all this. I
feel assured that the Republicans, who, to cover
up their own perfidy and neglect, have used every
villanous falsehood in their power to injure me—
I fear they have more than succeeded, but if their
day of reckoning does not come in this world, it
will surely in the next. * * * *
