Dear Mary

 I need an other letter to read to my friends & yours so I must write.
Went east & made four ? speeches in N.H. page torn at Concord & Had big crowds WCTU s

& the like and I had some fun with them dont know I am going to ? good people - Miss & men & men - What ? them to N.Y. but only stayed a day & didn't see many of our friends. Last Sunday I talked at the Howard Theater on war. - Fay was there also some others - Best speech D-n good. Largely for war - War gets rid of reformers. I wonder what I really do believe carry here & how long I will believe it. I may get a [reaction, to be tossed & buffetted all on the ocean of closet 3 unclear words such but what can you do. Perhaps? soon I will get kind and let my boat up fast
