addressed to The Star, in which he said:
81 read in the Boston Transcript the
news of the death of DR.. Howe, OF The
Evening Star. The intelligence came as

sadness which one feels who is absent

never be quite as they were befor. when
he shall return.
LET me pay the passing tribute of my
esteem and affection to the memory of
this excellent man, so long identified with
the daily life Of Washington. He pos
sessed in a remarkable degree qualities
that singled him out as a rare man in his
profession.
my most intimate acquaintance with
him was in the capacity of membership
of the Washington Harvard Club. He
was Of the class of 1864 He took the
lead. full of spirit of comradship-genial.

(and il was much1 to make the Harvard
Club successful and prosperous. He did
a great deal more than his fair share of
work, and he did it with a heartiness
that made everybody like him. To his
skill and labor was due in large measure
the pleasure of the dinner at each re.
curing anniversary.

brighter, when you had the good fortune
to meet him.
