Springfield July 10th My Dear Mrs Shearer For some days past, particularly since the fourth, I have anticipated writing you a letter and give you an account of some of us on [May?] day. We had a children's and grown people's picnic on that day, out at Col McClernand's farm, for the first time since you left, had the pleasure of meeting your good sister. You can perhaps imagine how much you were missed & how frequently your name was mentioned on that day. Pray how were you passing the time? <hr /> We are having very warm weather. I trust among the hills, you are not passing through the same fiery ordeal we are. Our summer thus far, has been rather pleasant than otherwise between strawberry & raspberry parties & latterly some select tea drinkings, our warm weather is almost half gone. Yet withall, I am generally very lonely. Miss Corcoram made a little stay of two months, with us, as she was not particularly pleased with her boarding house and as she contemplated a visit during her vacation to Wheeling I thought it would lessen her expenses, and render any eve- <hr /> nings less lonely. If I still have Mary, the same girl I have had for some time, and I see no reason to expect a change, I shall be willing to shelter her in the winter more especially as Robert leaves the first of September, & I fear I shall grow cowardly again. I have attended a very sad funeral today. Mrs Walters only promising son, was drowned two days since, in the Illinois river. the family is heart broken. There is so much to sadden us in life, and so little to make us wish to cling to it as we do. I have not yet learned, dear friend, to look over the way with a calm heart, I truly believe I shall never cease to miss you. <hr /> Mrs McClernands health has improved a good deal. She had some idea of going to some springs in Virginia, I am almost disposed to think she will not go. You speak of visiting New York In September, you will doubtless have a pleasant time. I should like to fly away and be at rest, this summer, yet I remember that I have taken mine ease so extensively. I miss our cosy meetings of the olden time & when I think you will never return here I am sad indeed. We have at least the opportunity of frequent interchange of letters I hope you will frequently remember me in that way. Remember me kindly to the Dr & boys. Hoping soon to hear from you.

Based on "Maryland. My Maryland," an 1861 poem James Ryder Randall, the song decries Lincoln's use of Union troops in Maryland and calls on the state, one of the four border states, to secede. The song became one of the most popular songs in the Confederacy. The pro-Union version of the song presented here replaces the original anti-Lincoln and anti-Union verses with words favorable to the North and damning to the South.

Circuit Court (3rd Circuit) Davis, Sarah Woodruff Walker, 1814-1879 Davis, Sarah W., 1852-1934 Description An account of the resource David Davis, a lawyer, politician, distinguished jurist and businessman, was born in Maryland, educated at Kenyon College in Ohio, and studied law at Yale University. Davis married Sarah Woodruff Walker in 1838 and they had five children including George Perrin Davis and Sarah "Sally" Davis. In 1844, Davis won election as a Whig to the Illinois Legislature, and four years later was elected Judge of Illinois Eighth Judicial Circuit, where he served on the bench during Lincoln's remaining years as an attorney on the circuit. The two became close friends, and Davis worked diligently as Lincoln's campaign manager at the 1860 Republican nominating convention in Chicago. In 1862, President Lincoln appointed Davis to the United States Supreme Court, where Davis wrote the majority opinion in Ex parte Milligan, a landmark decision restricting the rights of military courts to try civilians. In 1877, he resigned from the court after being elected to the United States Senate by the Illinois Legislature. Davis served as Senate president pro tempore from 1881 to 1883, and was known unofficially as "Mr. Vice President." He retired from the Senate in 1883. Davis invested in real estate with De Witt County attorney, Clifton H. Moore, and became a man of considerable wealth. He had the distinction of being the largest landowner in Illinois. At the time of his death, June 26, 1886, his estate was valued between four to five million dollars-a huge fortune in his day.                 The finding aid for the David Davis Family Papers at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum may be found at: http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/165.

We can say nothing more in his favor than you personally know, and it is therefore useless for us to go into any extended statement in regard to him. It is enough to say that his qualifications as a lawyer are disputed by none; his character as a man is irreproachable; and his devotion to the principles of our party, manifested on all proper occasions, entitle him to generous consideration in this matter. We know Mr. Morrison will not make personal efforts in Washington, and we therefore respectfully request you to urge his appointment on the President: We insist that Mr. Weldon the present incumbent has no special claims upon the party, and certainly none on you since the late Senatorial Strife, which entitle him to continuance in the office for another term. You are the representative of the people, and more fully embody their views and wishes as expressed in your very triumphal election over Mr Weldons particular favorite and friend, and we insist that you have more right to speak in this matter than any one else, and Mr. Lincoln <hr /> will of necessity recognize you as entitled to more influence than any other. We therefore respectfully urge upon you the importance of securing this valuable, and useful appointment to one of your true and tried friends. Mr. Weldon has no right to take exceptions to your course in so doing, for he certainly knows you are aware of his opposition to yourself in the senatorial election, not boldly and openly perhaps but not the less opposed. On the contrary Mr. Morrison has been for 10 or 12 years a well tried and unwavering friend, and we do not think we speak extravagantly when we say his claims upon the party are at least equal to those of Mr. Weldon. It is therefore the earnest desire of your friends whose names are below, that you will spare no exertions consistent with your position and feelings to procure Mr. Morrison the appointment which he desires and deserves.
