Hudson's pleasant lines reached her yesterday. She feels her life is a failure because her sufferings have embittered her instead of making her resigned and submissive. It would do her good to see Hudson. James Gillespie Blaine has failed her so far. He means well but being Irish he is impulsive and generous; the Irish are given to great gush and Mr. Blaine is simply full of Mr. Blaine. She got a letter from Gen. Ulysses S. Grant telling her he had written to the President about Angie's case and advised her to see him. She did so and found him a grave, earnest kindly man with an honest face full of resolve and intelligence. He assured her that when he returned from New York he "would see what could be done." Hudson is right about seeing Mrs. Dahlgren. She has not heard a word from her all summer. She herself has been ill for three weeks. Angie is happy and contented but can't stand an instant. She encloses for the Ave Maria some poetry by a Protestant Georgia poet and also another Darby discourse. She relates a ridiculous experience of Judge Key at a country ball in the Far West. :: X-2-j A.L.S. 4 pp. 12mo.
