I shall afford you as much assistance as under
my circumstances may be prudent.
I am your affectionate uncle,
ROGER SHERMAN.
Mr. Sherman died a year after his nephew graduated; but before
he died he doubtless saw the promise of that distinguished
career which added new lustre to the Sherman name.
It is a rather remarkable fact that my mother had such close
relations to so many eminent lawyers. Her father, though
his public duties prevented him from practising law very long,
was a very great lawyer and judge. Her brother-in-law, Judge
Baldwin, was an eminent Judge of the Connecticut Supreme Court.
Her cousin, Roger Minott Sherman, as has just been said, was
an inmate of her father's household in her childhood, and
was to her as a brother. She had, after his mother's death,
the care of Senator Roger Sherman Baldwin, her nephew, who
was for many years at the head of the Connecticut Bar. To
her nephew, William M. Evarts, my father's house was as another
home in his boyhood. He was the leading advocate of his time.
Her son, E. R. Hoar, was Attorney General of the United
States.
