Hurried to the Capitol & looked for the last time on the face of he who it will be said ‘ Too good to err, Too gentle to suspect or inflict injury.’ Noble in his life, he looked nobler in his narrow home. Truly the poet says truly ‘The Good man never dies.’ An immense concourse of people waiting to see the remains. In the evening, wrote a long letter to my betrothed.
