From a letter to the St. Louis Missouri Democrat, March 1867
"I think I could write a pretty strong arguement in favor of female sufrage, but I do not want to do it. I never want to see the women voting, and gabbling about politics, and electioneering. There is something revolting about the thought. It would shock me inexpressibly for an angel to come down from above and ask me to take a drink with him (though I should doubtless consent); but it would shock me still more to see one of our blessed earthly angels peddling election tickets among a mob of shabby scoundrels she never saw before."
I wonder what his thoughts would be now...
