Addresses, State Papers and Letters (Classic Reprint)
Description:... Excerpt from Addresses, State Papers and Letters It has been said, Light sorrows speak, great grief is dumb, and the application of this would enforce my silence on this occasion. But I cannot go so far, nor let the hour pass without adding a tribute of respect and love for my de parted friend. He was my friend in the most sacred and complete sense of the term. I have walked with him, talked with him, ate with him, and slept with him - was he not my friend?
I must not, dare not, recall the memories of our long and loving friendship. And let not my brethren think it amiss if I force back the thoughts which come crowding to my mind. I shall speak coldly of my friend; but the most sacred tribute of a sad heart, believe me, is unspoken.
