[a machine-readable transcription]  | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Description: | I might sit
down and at great length
tell you of the sorrow that
has felled my very soul at
the thought of the ruin at
the beloved old place and
then I might for a long time
tell of my heartfelt sympathies
with you dear people to whom
if possible, the destruction of the
sacred place means more than
to us who have dwelt there for
but a term of years — yet but half
would be told, so I will not begin
feeling assured that you know
well enough my feelings of
sympathy and sorrow.
So bright, however, is the prospect
for speedy relief and the rebuilding
of the old place that our sympathies
may be turned to congratulations.
Of course you have seen of
the good work in Richmond and
other cities. Here in Baltimore
Markham Marshall and I are
stirring things up and hope to
have a good report before long. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
