In grief, words are a poor consolation - silence and agonizing tears are all that is left the sufferer.

My husband is not a Christian but is a religious man, I think.

I explain to you, exactly and truly, how we are circumstanced. A greater portion of our means is unavailable, consisting of a house in S. Springfield and some wild lands in Iowa. Notwithstanding my great and good husband's life was sacrificed for his country, we are left to struggle in a manner...of life undeserved. Roving Generals have elegant mansions showered upon them, and the American people leave the family of the Martyred President to struggle as best they may! Strange justice this.

Beautiful, Glorious Scotland, has spoilt me for every other country.

If you keep making jokes like that, somebody is going to shoot you, father.

Clouds and darkness surround us, yet Heaven is just, and the day of triumph will surely come, when justice and truth will be vindicated. Our wrongs will be made right, and we will once more taste the blessings of freedom
