Troy, Aug. 19th, 1849.
My own dear Kitty— …I see by the papers that they are having great times in Montreal— fires, riots etc. Have you been there to witness any of these awful scenes? The spirit of Revolution seems to pervade the whole world and I think the trouble in Canada has just begun. Henry Clay passed through here last Thursday on his way to Newport. A great crowd of good and true Whigs assembled in front of the Troy House to see and cheer the old man who ought to have been made President years ago. He staid here only about half an hour. I never saw him before and it really done me good to look upon him— A Great Man that Henry Clay— A man every true Whig loves. I wish he was in Old Zach’s place… I have heard three sermons today— the best one was from a young Unitarian minister who is preaching here on trial… Now
Good night Dearest Kitty. Sweet dreams & happy thoughts be with you. I am more than ever your own Frank.
