Present my best respects to Mrs Lincoln I deeply sympathized with Mrs L and yourself when I heard of the loss of your fine boy— I lost just such a boy myself a couple of years ago—

I am Dear Sir

Yours Trly

James G. Bennett"

In order to be able to aid and assist you in the work yet to be done, I have a great mind to pay you a short visit in Washington in order to have a full and confidential conversation with yourself— Do you think my Dear Sir, it would do?

From what I know of human nature and human action, I fear you will have more trouble with the politicians in the coming restoration of the rebel states, than you have had with the generals and the armies in the recent conflict. In order to be able to aid and assist you in the work yet to be done,

With the capture of Richmond which must be done at all hazards, the war ends and the work of restoration begins

Your success in the terrible crisis has been wonderful, and I have no doubt now of a successful and brilliant termination to the struggle— On many occasions I have found myself groping in the dark in endeavoring to sustain your administration, but generally try to come out right

Be assured it has been my constant desire ever since this unhappy war broke out to aid and assist your government in all its wise and important measures—

James Gordon Bennett

I availed myself at the earliest moment of the hints you gave me relative to the Secretary of War a gentleman and a patriot of whom I have a high opinion although I have never known him personally—

Opinion | In their budget bill, Republicans show their contempt for courts Hidden deep in the boilerplate? A get-out-of-jail-free card for the Trump White House.

President Trump and GOP leaders in Congress are preparing to trample the power of judges who stand in their way. But to find this blueprint, you have to dig 500+ pages into the "One Big Beautiful Bill."

Pretty ugly.
