Messrs. Blodgett, Upton and Others:

Gentlemen--Your note is before me. You know the time for the
preparation of that discourse was very brief. You are also aware,
doubtless, that though spoken from copious notes, much of it was
extemporized, and that I cannot reproduce those passages. But such as
it is, I place it in your hands, as my humble tribute to the name and
the virtues of our murdered President.

With much respect, gentlemen,

Yours
