Mr. Calhoun has given notice that he should
speak tomorrow on Webster's Bank Bill.
I shall hear him, & he probably will be
the last man I shall hear in Washington
- ever. I shall never come here again.
No inducement, I think - at least none that
my most flighty ambition can look for-
ward to, will take me away from [XXX]
steady & calm pursuit of my profession,
wherever I shall determine to pitch my
tent. Politics are very loathing. - My
next & sole desire ahead is to visit Europe
& my first professional gains shall be
devoted to that purpose. This accomplished,
I shall be ready for any circumstances
of life - even what is called settlement
in life. But why pester you with these
whims & fancies of mind? Your kindness
has given me too much freedom in addressing
you - though I do it ever with respect
& affection.
                        Good evening & my love to you &
                              yours - whom I hope you found happy
                              & well - Charles Sumner.
