Description

Manuscript letter

Archives Number: 1011/2.2-148#05

From a full heart, dearest Fanny, I offer you my most sincere, most cordial, most affectionate congratulations. God has blessed you in the priceless love of my dear friend. How much He has blessed Longfellow, nobody, nor sister, nor brother, knows or feels more than I.
The golden gates open wide before you; Your feet are already on the steps of crystal. May God guide you together in love and happiness, far up on the mountain; nor shall that banner “Excelsior” be forgotten!
I claim no common place in both your hearts.
You have received my dear friend as your lover, let me be forever, your most affectionate friend.
Charles Sumner
4 Court St.
May 11 ‘44
