I suppose by the time you get this far in my epistle you will think I am worse than you was when you wrote me and spoke of a grease spot on one corner. this is grease all over, according to scripture "out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh" in my case out of the fullness of the head the pen writeth We have been feeling very sad on account of the great National Calamity that has befallen us in the death of Mr. Lincoln yet the glorius results brot. about by his good management and his advisers is such as to amend in part for these things [?] dead yet his memory & noble deeds liveth, Rebellion has about gone under and I feel as tho. we all can breathe a pureer air and feel our Nation to be greater to day than ever before.
