Letter from Benjamin Smith Lyman to Franklin B. Sanborn
Description:
Although an overwhelming storm prevented Sanborn from visiting, Lyman hopes he was able to find success on his mission to Washington. He mentions the persuasiveness of Sanborn's literary writing versus his political writing. Lyman discusses the French song Sanborn sent to him and the challenges to translating it into English.
