With a 1"brown strip from the original envelop pasted along the folded edge of side 4 which is blank. Senate Chamber 9th Jan. '69Private (underlined)Dear Mr Kin…sley, The interest you took in a certain carpet induces me to make a report not official. The British Minister was with me sipping his coffee after dinner, when, after observing the carpet, he said: --"This is an Aubusson & very beautiful." And then he asked about it. I said, that it came from Paris via Boston, & that the house from which I had it assured me that a better carpet never crossed the Atlantic. "I do not doubt that," he replied. So you will see that yr saying is already fulfilled. But I have not done with the carpet. A lady who called at my house, revealed at once a strong interst on seeing it. She had ordered precisely this carpet of the best dealer in Paris, where she was in September, but hers had not yet arrived. Now she found the article in my house. She called it the finest which she saw in Paris. Perhaps Mr. Lovejoy will be amused by this little history. Ever yours, Charles Sumner Charles Sumner (1811 1874) was an American lawyer, politician, and statesman who represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate from 1851 until his death in 1874. Before and during the American Civil War, he was a leading American advocate for the abolition of slavery. He chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee from 1861 to 1871, until he lost the position following a dispute with President Ulysses S. Grant over the attempted annexation of Santo Domingo. After breaking with Grant, he joined the C, spending his final two years in the Senate alienated from his party. Sumner had a controversial and divisive legacy for many years after his death, but in recent decades, his historical reputation has improved in recognition of his early support for racial equality.Sumner began his political activism as a member of various anti-slavery groups, leading to his election to the U.S. Senate in 1851 as a member of the Free Soil Party; he soon became a founding member of the Republican Party. In the Senate, he devoted his efforts to opposing the "Slave Power,"[1] which in 1856 culminated in a vicious beating, almost to the point of death, by Representative Preston Brooks on the Senate floor.[2] Sumner's severe injuries and extended absence from the Senate made him a symbol of the anti-slavery cause. Though he did not return to the Senate until 1859, Massachusetts reelected him in 1857, leaving his empty desk as a reminder of the incident, which polarized the nation as the Civil War approached.

There is one bronze statue of Mr. Peabody (with pencil addition of "George" and "merchant" in another hand) by an American artist which has been placed in London. To propose another in bronze--also by an American artist--is not sufficiently reasonable. Why not have it here? There is none in our country. Let us have one here rather than have two in London.

'60Gentlemen, On New Year's evening I received in Boston the truly interesting & splendid present with (which) you have honor…ed & cheered me. And now on my arrival at Washington to resume my public duties, I find the letter from you which adds so much to the rare value of the gift.

Such a relic of a Patriot, who had suffered so tragically for Human Freedom, has calculated to touch me profoundly. But let me assure you that more precious even than this historic souvenir with all its suggestions of noble struggle, are the personal sympathies of which your gift is the token. I look at the names subscribed to your letter, where there is so much of worth, genius & fame, & feel grateful that I may call them all my friends.

With the original envelope which slightly ragged along the top where it was opened. " Washington, 1st July 60. My dear Miss Loring, I should have…much pleasure in seeing Miss Griffith & especially according to a hint from you; but the way did not seem to be open. Perhaps had I been less occupied than I was at the time, I (p. 2) might have been led to take a responsibility from which I shrink more & more every day I mean that of giving letters of introduction to friends in England. Of course I know well Miss Griffith s Merritt, & feel that she deserves, the sympathy & welcome of the good every where. (p.3) You and yr. mother are kind in your appreciation of what I have done for the good cause. (e.g.,The abolition of slavery). If I have life, I hope to do more & better. How I miss now your father s most intelligent, well-poised & genial criticism! Let me thank your mother through you & believe me, dear Miss Loring, Ever sincerely yours, Charles Sumner." Note: Anna Loring was the daughter of Ellis Gray Loring, a famed Boston abolitionist and lawyer who defended many abolitionists in Boston. and the runaway slave Shadrack who was captured in Boston after the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act in 1850. Along with William Lloyd Garrison and Samuel Edward Sewall (the First Cousin of Louisa May Alcott's mother), Ellis Gray Loring was a founding member of the New England Antislavery society, and his wife (and presumably daughter to whom the Sumner letter is written) were members of the Boston Female Anti Slavery Society.
