UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON, February 10, 1882.
Ny Dear Colonel,-I inciose s2j 10 aid
i'm the relief Of the sufferers at Midlothian.
The few days which Max and myself spent
with you at the mines in December brings
this terrible calamity more iorcibly to my
mind. Until your letter was received l
did not know whether the Mr.. Marshall
killed was the man who acted as our guide
when hunting or not. He was
splendid fellow, and was anticipating
much good sport hunting with him next
season. have no doubt that a generous
public will provide amply Tor their widows
and orphans, but the. most liberal offerings
can make but o poor return for the loss OF
husbands and fathers.
Yours. WARNER MILLER.
P,S. We hope 10 see you here before
long.
