25Letter  to  Mrs.  Bixby(1)

Mrs.  Bixby,

 

Boston,  Massachusetts,

 

Dear  Madam,

  I  have  been  shown  in  the  files  of  the  War  Department(3)  a  statement  ofthe Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sonswho  have  died  gloriously  on  the  field  of  battle.  I  feel  how  weak  andfruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile  youfrom  the  grief  of  a  loss  so  overwhelming.  But  I  cannot  refrain  fromtendering  to  you  the  consolation  that  may  be  found  in  the  thanks  of  theRepublic they died to save. I pray that our heavenly Father may assuagethe anguish1 of your bereavement2, and leave you only the cherished memoryof the loved and lost(4), and the solemn pride that must be yours to havelaid  so  costly  a  sacrifice  upon  the  altar  of  freedom.
Yours  very  sincerely  and  respectfully,

 

Abraham  Lincoln
