He heard that McMaster had been told by Walworth's distinguished counsel that the editorial written in their behalf was not advisable at that time. Walworth has no doubt that the article was of great service to them, and the opinion McMaster expressed in regard to Frank's Walworth state of mind has been agreed upon by the most prominent physicians. He is encouraged to hope for a pardon during the spring upon that construction of the case. He is not implying that he has lost confidence in his distinguished friend or that his feelings of admiration and gratitude had abated. He has had a dreary winter traveling in his boy's behalf. Frank's health and strength have failed since the cold weather began. He had many hardships during his removal to Albany and after his arrival. He is now in the hospital and will probably remain there. Walworth visited his old friend, Mrs. Nicholas Devereux at Utica on his way back from Albany. The renewal of old friendships is one consolation sent to him by God in his days of great trial. He had allowed himself to drift away from them for many years and now enjoys the reestablished intercourse. He hopes that McMaster's daughters like their school life and that things are prosperous for him. :: I-2-a A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
