Transcript	[Page 1] N. Sargent Esq. Washington, D.C . Boston 28 November 1868 Dear Sir I am indebted to you for your kind note, and its inclosure correcting an error into which the Washington Chronicle had fallen in regard to my fathers policy whilst President. If the writer could have seen the letter addressed to him by friends, remonstrating against what they called his fatal system of retaining opponents in office, which have just ben passing under my eye, he would probably have blamed him for his opposite action as entirely contrary to all received nations of the present day. My father was the last person who ever practiced upon such a thing, and will probably in the end be cited at marking an era in American history on that point.
