Mrs. James Longstreet,
Gainesville, Georgia:
My Dear Mrs. Longstreet,—I have noticed with great regret and with great sympathy for you, the news of the death of General Longstreet.
All who are familiar with his great career will be sorrowed at his passing. His place in history is secure. And his name and fame are among the priceless treasures of all Americans.
I understand the depth of the sorrow in which you stand now, and sorrow with you.
In deepest sympathy, I remain,
Sincerely yours,
