I have known Miss Carroll many years; she is a daughter of Governor Carroll, and by birth and education entitled to the highest consideration. She writes exceedingly well, and during the late war published several pamphlets, etc., which I have no doubt proved most serviceable to the cause of the Union. Her own loyalty was ardent and constant through the struggle. REVERDY JOHNSON.[11] [Footnote 11: Reverdy Johnson--a distinguished lawyer from Maryland, U. S. Senator, Attorney General in Taylor's Cabinet, and Minister to England during Johnson's Administration.] * * * * * DAYTON, _Nov. 23, 1869_. My Dear Miss Carroll: Your letter finds me in the midst of care, labor, and preparation for removal to Washington. Pardon me, therefore, if I write briefly. You must see me when the session of Congress commences, that I may say much for which there is not space or time on paper. Nobody appreciates more highly than I do your patriotism and your valuable services with mind and pen through so many years. Yours faithfully and truly, ROBERT C. SCHENCK.[12] [Footnote 12: Robert C. Schenck--General through the war, Member of Congress, and Minister to England.] * * * * * LONDON, E. C., _July 30, 1872_. Dear Miss Carroll: I have read with pleasure the pamphlet you were so kind as to send me, and am glad to see that your claim is so strongly endorsed--so strongly that it can hardly be ignored by Congress. Very truly yours, H. MCCULLOCH.[13] [Footnote 13: Hugh S. McCulloch was Secretary of the Treasury under Lincoln, Johnson, and Arthur.] * * * * * WASHINGTON CITY, _January 20, 1873_. My Dear Miss Carroll: I owe you an humble apology for not calling to pay my respects to you, as I intended to do; but I have been so occupied with numerous engagements that the purpose indicated escaped my recollection until I was on the point of leaving for my home in Connecticut, and can only now proffer to you my cordial and heartfelt wishes for your health, prosperity, and happiness.
