An ardent abolitionist, Washburne was a leader among the Radical Republicans in Congress. During the Civil War, he was a strong supporter of President Abraham Lincoln and General Ulysses S. Grant. When Grant was elected president in 1868, Washburne briefly served as Secretary of State, then was appointed Minister to France. In retirement, Washburne wrote a memoir of his time spent in France, titled Recollections of a Minister to France, 1869-1877. The work was published shortly before his death in 1887. Signed.

Begins: 'I dare say you have thought it unkind of me not to write for so many days, but the fact is I had nothing to say that was either interesting or particularly pleasant, for I have been very dull and [?] as well as out of health.' Besides a visit from 'Mrs Jeafferson' he has been 'engaged the whole time writing letters to and receiving visits of governesses. The number of ladies who were seen to enter my house on those days must have made the neighbours fancy I was indemnifying myself for your absence at a nice rate. You are sure to hear of it on your return.' A pigeon pie supplied by Mrs Jeafferson has been 'polished off in no time' by him and 'the boys'. He wishes he could have 'added my little quota' to her birthday presents, but 'Jack' brought something with him 'from the Exhibition'. He intended to have his 'photographic portrait done en carte de visite but the weather has been so dark'. He wants to 'bring Sallie a photograph of some statue in the Exhibition [?]. What would she like? The Reading Girl? The Dream of Joy? or what?' He complains of the weather, then refers to 'Mrs & Miss Jerdan'. He then writes: 'I have seen Dick Lee whom I took on Sunday to see the Picture Gallery. The same day I dined with Thackeray who was very kind in his enquries afer you & the babies., so were the Miss T's. Miss Crook asked also kindly for them. Kiss them both well for me and tell them I will bring them a penny toy or piece from dear old London - Also [same old?] of the [German Court?].'.
