Title	John Sherman Letters To Mary Stewart Sherman
Subject	Daily Life Presidents and Politics Political campaigns Sherman, John, 1823-1900 Legislators
Place	Lancaster (Ohio) Fairfield County (Ohio) Mansfield (Ohio) Richland County (Ohio)
Description	Statesman John Sherman wrote these seven letters to his only daughter, Mary Stewart Sherman, whom he called by her nickname Mamie, between 1879 and 1895. Sherman wrote about his campaign work and travels around Ohio, and advises Mamie while she is traveling in Switzerland. The letters are one, two or four pages and measure 8.5" x 11" (21.59 x 27.94 cm). John Sherman (1823-1900) grew up in Lancaster, Ohio, one of eleven children of Ohio Supreme Court Justice Charles Sherman. In 1840, Sherman moved to Mansfield to live with his oldest brother, Charles Jr. While he is not so well known as his older brother, General William Tecumseh Sherman, John Sherman served in the U. S. House of Representatives and Senate, as secretary of the treasury, and secretary of state. He authored numerous pieces of legislation, though he is best remembered for the Sherman Anti-trust Act. Sherman was considered for the Republican presidential ticket three times, but never gained his party's nomination. Critics claimed that he was a cool and distant man and that these personality traits cost him the presidency.

Full Text	[corresponds to John Sherman's letter of August 10, 1879] Home Washington D.C. August 10/79 My Dear Mamie Your letter of the 27 th[superscript] of July was rec'd in which you give an account of your trip to the Weisenstein Moun- -tain. It was very interesting but very tiresome. I hope you did not suffer long from head ache. Now I want to make a little sermon on your trip. You were very tired. So you always are when you study. But you enjoyed your trip & when the fatigue passes away you will forget that and think only of the pleasure you enjoyed. And so with your studies. If you get tired that will soon pass away while the information you get will be an aid and pleasure to you as long as you live. Years hence you will think of what you saw and learned in Suisse I too have had my travels-but I think
