Department of State
Washington, April 14th 1864
My dearest Frances,
I suppose that you will be going
home tomorrow, and this letter will follow
you there.
I had a sleeping car and got along
as comfortably as possible. Have been very
well since my return — The public matter
was easily arranged, and it has left no
anxiety.
No mail from Europe

and therefore
no new anxiety concerning affairs there —
I am weary of Congressional exchanges and
excitement. But these are habitual evils. I am
glad that the Press is holding Congress to a
close account

Military operations will not begin upon our
initiation so soon by a few days only as I
have hoped ^hitherto^ anticipated — they cannot begin too
soon for the public quiet. I hope that the
popular sector demands military excitement
as a condition of its own equanimity.
