Only those who stood at Mr. Grady’s side as we did and heard him at
Boston can estimate the extent of the nation’s loss in his death. It
seemed reserved for him to perform a service to his country which no
other could perform so well. Mrs. Carnegie and I share your grief and
tender to his family profound sympathy. We send a wreath in your care
which please place upon the grave of the eloquent peacemaker between the
North and South.
