Frederick Douglass to Ebenezer D. Bassett, July 13, 1889

Cdar Hill. Anacostia. D.C. July 13. 1889.

My dear Bassett.

Soon after your previous letter, quite unexpectedly to me, Mr. Blaine departed for Bar Harbor, to rre main there, the papers say, until October. He evidently left here for the purpose of being entirely free from the pressure of the office seekers.
