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 anguish 1 of your bereavement 2, 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
