Read Lincoln s letter to Mrs. Bixby, looking up any unfamiliar

words in your dictionary.

Executive MansionWashington, Nov. 21, 1864

To Mrs. BixbyBoston, Mass.

Dear Madam

I have been shown in the files of the War Department astatement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts that you arethemothet of five sons who have died gloriously on the field ofbattle. 1 feel now weak and fruitless must be any word of minewhich should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss sooverwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering you the conso-lation that may be found in the thanks of the republic they died

to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguishof your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory ofthe loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours tohave laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.

Yours very sincerely and.respectfu Ily,

A. Lincoln
