Description
McLean reports that Mr. Neff has joined the church in Cincinnati. Former attorney general, William Wirt, has recently lost a daughter (Agnes C. Wirt), and is in a great deal of pain. McLean is very empathetic, having recently lost his own son Willy. McLean tells of division and uncertainty in the political world. Many people have suggested that he run for president or other office. He will only do so if he believes he can make a difference. Abstract Number - 1004
