Harriet Beecher Stowe,
Letters to congressman Horace Mann
“ Can you give me any advice as to the best mode of forwarding &c—perhaps your diplomatic life in Washington may enable you to enlighten my rusticity a little on these points—I have just been reading your volume of speeches—It is with a sad feeling that I think that things like what are there recorded have been said in the legislative bodies & men have heard them & gone on—just as before—"ceace ye from man" 3. ”
