2 husband and little son, reached this saddened home on the 10th of this month. Dear General was laid to rest the following
day. Annie has borne this dreadful sorrow with a Christian resignation which I have never seen approached. The lines of grief
were etched deep in her face, but not a murmur has escaped her - and her faith 3 still keeps her up. I was very anxious
for many days feeling that collapse must come - now I feel that one will not, and through the sorrow now and then catch a
glimpse of the sweet Sister as I have known her always in other days. To her have been sent the loveliest tributes of respect
and love for General, and his death and funeral seemed more a triumph than aught else. We will remain with my Sister I think
through
