Starter Back Next Dear Madam: I have just learned from a report by the War Department that you are the mother of five sons who have died heroically on the battlefield. I feel that whatever I say or do can hardly make you feel less painful for suffering such a great loss. But I cannot but attempt to give you my deepest sympathy and consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that God may relieve your anguish and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the great pride that must be yours to have made so costly a sacrifice for the unity and freedom of our country. Yours very sincerely and respectfully, Abraham Lincoln 9 focus1text 上海交通大 學(xué) 出版社 Back Next Text Organization 10 focus1text 上海交通大 學(xué) 出版社 Text Organization Back Next 11 focus1text 上海交通大 學(xué) 出版社 Back Next Text Organization 12 focus1text 2.
