Text Any textual data included in the document Thanks dear friend for your kindly&nbsp; New Year greeting – it is good to be remembered at these times, and also to remember – as I do. Through this year I have not been able to express it anniversaries were&nbsp; always sad to me and ours have been growing more and more so for many years. This one seems to have been the culmination of sadness, for are invalid closed[?] his long and weary struggle on the 22^nd Dec and a funeral left in +++ +++ +++ as days! The necessity for so using the day, did not seem to us - so strange as it doubtless did to the many who felt only the gladness of the hallowed and gracious time". These events however long anticipated and apparently realized come always nevertheless like a&nbsp; blow, and paralyze [p. 2] for the time. A powerful and vigorous personality cannot be extinguished, without leaving an ‘aching void’ which only time can fill up! Sister has come up under it with her +++ heroic fortitude– and I am still looking in the +++ which has so long filled me with anxiety[?] for her - But she is sustained by something +++ of herself. And the angels find no difficulty in getting near her, so akin in her atmosphere to theirs. – I am ashamed to say I find myself weaker under the influences of this event than she does – I am weak &amp; helpless where emotional excitements are concerned – and all the +++ sympathizers and succumbs to them -&nbsp; This is grievous and disappointing to me – because I hoped You see dear, your suggestion of “pleasant distractions” in this big pandemonium does not yet come into my programme.

I am glad to hear what Mrs. Chapman says about the book it is much if she found[?] only truth[?] in it. She seems a strong nature who could not in her herself be content with to little. Did you know that her part in Miss +++ life has been bitterly resented in Eng^d . This I have from private sources. I was grateful to her for the glimpse she gives us of of a great personality which Miss +++ herself failed to do but to my mind she could have left much else out, and the book would have spoken better for itself. I am glad you are [inserted] doing this statue. I feel that it can be trusted with you – I only could wish it were Charlotte Cushman instead – perhaps you could[?] not echo that wish. – No- you never told me what it – I saw it first in the N.Y. Tribune -I should like to know how you are treating it and that reminds me to ask you if you have not got a photo of Samuel Adams to give me?
