| States that as soon as he heard of HS' death the previous Wednesday night he applied himself to preparing for Thursday's paper a 'little obituary notice', which he sends to her [included]. Claims that it is impossible to say what HS meant to him. Recalls that almost immediately after entering Trinity College he made arrangements for becoming his private pupil, and that since then 'he has occupied a position in [his] life absolutely unlike any other man's.' Claims that HS always understood him, and refers to his 'exquisitely beautiful nature'. States that he owes to him 'the proper apprehension of the awful sin and crime of war', and relates that a short time ago he [Everett] sent him a copy of his address 'on "Patriotism" ', which, he reports, 'has excited some attention' [in America]. Claims that the lart part of it grew out of a talk he had with HS in 1860, which, he recalls, took place at the Fitzwilliam [Museum]. Adds that he believes that he and HS 'felt a very deep religious sympathy, holding a doctrine scarce understood now a days.' |
