Thank you for
your service alongside of this great American hero. I pray that our
heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave
you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn
pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the
altar of freedom. (Lincoln to Mrs. Bixby 21Nov1864)
