- To T. B. Adams, written on his return from Europe and announcing his election to the Massachusetts Senate. He writes in part: "I suppose you will learn from the newspapers the general result of our election. . . You will see my name upon the Suffolk list of Senators, and perhaps be a little surprised, that I suffered it to be run. But as it was extremely doubtful . . . whether it could be carried, I did not choose either to shrink, . . . the trial . . . indeed a man may as well be busy about nothing for the public as for himself. . ."
