Laments the death of his friend Randolph. Encourages Hunt to befriend John Alexander Logan in the Senate. Mentions [Lord's?] pamphlet and Slocum (possibly General Henry Warner Slocum). Refers to a letter written by Ulysses S. Grant, which benefited him (possibly referring to the controversy over his military dismissal). Remarks, "Grant is true of heart when he knows he is right."
