Overland Mail to the Pacific and Douglas in Speech
An 1853 letter reviews the California to Washington mail route via the 23rd parallel, noting long travel times, limited mail capacity, and harsh desert stages without water. It compares routes, predicts failure of overland lines, and praises a northern Rocky Mountain passage. It also reports on Lucius Lamar’s critique of Stephen A. Douglas and Southern reaction to Lincoln and Seward.

Franklin on Learning Languages and the Practical Use of Speech

Hyacinth myth and merry musings on virtue and mirth
The piece recounts a myth linking the hyacinth name to a beautiful boy Hyacinthus slain by Zephyrus, with Apollo shaping a tower from his blood as a memory. It argues virtue seeds good in a jealous world. It then extols mirth after toil as essential to health, cautions against frivolity, and ends with remarks on ingratitude and a quip about Junius.
