Ralph Isaacs Ingersoll (1789-1872), a representative from Connecticut and future minister to Russia under President Polk, writes in this letter to President Polk that he has "read and re-read your inaugural address with so much satisfaction that I cannot refrain from congratulating you upon it. It does your head and heart infinite honor. Not a sentiment, or a word would I alter if I had the power. I have this morning been among friends and opponents--and the sentiments every where expressed would be most gratifying to you could you hear them. Our political friends with one voice approve--warmly approve--and our political opponents the more candid portion of them, speak of it as a document that owes you great credit."
