Senator James W. Grimes to Elizabeth Nealley Grimes, October 2, 1863

Dubuque, October 2d.

It is a comfort to me to know that one week from to-night my labors will be over. My health is very good, save that I am worn down by speaking every day, and nearly every day in the open air. We shall carry the State by an unprecedentedly large majority, because the people are in earnest to sustain the Government.
