HIS MARRIAGE: REMINISCENCES OF GOV. TRUMBULL. 247 



Tell Mr. Denison that on Thursday he may expect a 

 wagon from Lebanon with furniture. I shall direct the 

 man to drive at once to the house ; but I wish Mr. Deni- 

 son would walk up and see that everything is safely put 

 away. I attended freemen's meeting here yesterday, and 

 voted for the nomination ; thus you see that in the midst 

 of private felicity, I did not forget my duty to the State. 



I cannot say more, and I am not disposed to say less 

 than that everything has been as happy as I could wish ; 

 and although I am now actually wearing those badges of 

 subjection which some consider as iron chains, and some as 

 silken bands, I am conscious of no diminution of liberty, 

 nor of any irksome weight of obligation. 



You will give proper publicity to the thing ; and, as a 

 name and a fee are now demanded at the " Herald " office 

 for such publication, you will be so good as to furnish both. 



Remember me affectionately to Denison and Day ; and 

 I have only to add that I hope you will all go and do like- 

 wise. Your affectionate friend.
