Transcription
[2]husband and little son, reached this saddened home on the 10th of this month. Dear General was laid to rest the following day. Annie has borne this dreadful sorrow with a Christian resignation which I have never seen approached. The lines of grief were etched deep in her face, but not a murmur has escaped her - and her faith[3]still keeps her up. I was very anxious for many days feeling that collapse must come - now I feel that one will not, and through the sorrow now and then catch a glimpse of the sweet Sister as I have known her always in other days. To her have been sent the loveliest tributes of respect and love for General, and his death and funeral seemed more a triumph than aught else. We will remain with my Sister I think through
