December, 1860 359
have not got anything to tell you about the trip until my return so wait patiently for
Ulys. This will be my last letter.
ALS, DLC-USG.
1. "I travelled through the Northwest considerably during the winter of 1860-1. We had customers in all the little towns in south-west Wisconsin, south¬ east Minnesota and north-east Iowa." Memoirs, I, 222. J. R. Grant business papers in ICHi indicate that the firm was interested in real estate and other ventures in this territory and had leather stores in La Crosse and Prairie du Chien, Wis., and Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
Addressee Unknown
[Dec, 1860]
In my new employment I have become pretty conversant, and am much pleased with it. I hope to be a partner soon, and am sanguine that a competency at least can be made out ofthe busi¬ ness.
How do you all feel on the subject of Secession in St. Louis.? The present troubles raust aflfect business in your trade greatly. With us the the only diflference experienced as yet is the dif¬ ficulty of obtaining Southern exchange.
It is hard to realize that a State or States should commit so suicidal an act as to secede frora the Union, though from all the reports, I have no doubt but that at least five of thera will do it. And then, with the present granny of an executive, some foolish policy will doubtless be pursued which will give the seceding States the support and sympathy ofthe Southern States that don't go out. The farce now going on in southern Kansas is, I presume, about at an end, and the St. Louis volunteer General Frost at their head, covered all over with glory.^ You will now have seven
