Autograph letter signed : place not specified, to Mrs. Hewitt, "Monday" [1864] Apr. 18.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/747717249

Thanking her for her kind letter and saying that when he sees her in May he will tell her anything she would like to know about his father; saying that he was glad for his mother's sake that he was at home when his father died; saying his father died "unconsciously--at least speechlessly-- a long death of three days and nights;" saying "My mother fortunately was too blind to see the worst of it;" saying "my father had been dead to me in all the inner and deep senses of death for many years--not that he knew that--but things to me are just what they were--mixed only with a profound pity for the poor father lying in the clay in this Spring time."
