there Is now population of 10000, tied
my horse IN mountain path and crept
through q dense thicket of laurel bushes

II regard Virginia even now as in
highly prosperous condition and with an
outlook for development second to no
State in America. The returns from the
garden farms of the two Eastern-Shore
counties show that nowhere in the world
does agriculture reap such profits. The
truck farmers around Norfolk have become
men of wealth within the last Eve years.
The settlement of the debt question was
the crowning piece of good fortune. The

become the song OF men.
Without God to guide them the brave
and hardy Normaus sought 20 unity their
native aud foreign populations, and by
this net YOU have adopted the same wiSo
and benign policy.
II Is by the sharp friction of flint and
steel that light and heat are evolved, and
il il often by severe conflicts IN neld ana
forum that great truths and principles are
brought TO light. May all our people cul:
tiyate diligentlylthe arts Or peace anu
learn war no more" Perhaps there IS
not a family in the land where for time
at least there have not been dIsagreements
and even discord, but this did not Sc
riously mar tine peace and harmony or the
household. All hearts were true deep
down in the depths. So NAV the heart Of
our great national family beat steady and
strong IN loving sympathy, sending its
unifying life-biood to every extremity OF
our fair heritage. the most glorious ever
vouchsafed TO man since the " merry stars
sang together"
II is with mingled feelings OF pleasure
and pain that / recur to the beautiful,
hearty, and widespread sympathy lately
felt by the entire South for the oIeful
suiferings endured by your brave and
lamented husband. where he exchanged
the sorrows OF earth for the blessings, OF
Heaven. IT'S this touch OF nature that
makes us all akin"
lem quite sure that in coming years
your noble conduct will bring you unal-
loved happiness. Neither shall you lose
your reward in the world to come.
Blessed are tho peacsmakers, for they
shall be called the children OF. God"

OF expressing TO you in person nv thanks
for this oct Of goodwill to the South, but
