Abstract
Description
Autograph letter signed. From Dover, Delaware. Reynolds apologizes to Seward for his "very abrupt departure," stating that "the peculiar circumstances in which I am placed always renders my leaving you very cooly indeed." Reynolds adds, "I must speak of our meeting on Tuesday which was grand in the extreme, if you could have heard the speech of N. B. Smithers you would have wondered why any loyal man could stay peaceably at home, while traitors in fiendish form were so ignobly assailing our glorious nationality. There were many wet eyes in that large assembly. I am not excepted."
