In the death of your brother, you have sustained a misfortune which

all who had the pleasure of knowing him can feelingly estimate. I

condole with you most sincerely on the sad event, and if the sympathy

of friends can be any consolation under the trying circumstance, be

assured that all who knew him share in your sorrow for his loss. There

is, however, a higher source of consolation than earthly friendship,

and, commending you to that, I remain,

Yours sincerely,

JEROME C. HOOVER.
