The president was very much de-
pressed by some adverse event and
told the colonel very bluntly that such

a moment. The colonel was in terrible
grief at the idea Of not being able
to bury his wife at home. AL the
consolation that Lincoln gave him was

his farm was about to go to waste.
He bethought himself Of his two sons
and wished eagerly that at least one
Of them were now with him. He de-

the release Of one Of his sons. Most
of his friends told him that his efforts
would be fruitless. Nevertheless he
went. He explained his dilemma to
the president, who seemed rather un-

would grow angry and resent such an

Finally he said: All right, I'll let
