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 wrote in the one passage quoted by Bush.
The remark was preceded by another moving passage.
“I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine which should
attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I
cannot refrain from tendering you the consolation that may be found in the
thanks of the Republic they died to save,” Lincoln wrote. |
