LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR OF THE GETTYSBURG BATTLEFIELD MEMORIAL ASSOCIATION
McPHERSON
(Edward, 1830-1895, American Newspaper Editor and Congressman)
Autograph Letter Signed to J. Wallace, in Harrisburg,
saying that he has "commenced this note well. I dated it Harrisburg, so accustomed have I become to writing from that point. A little time and scribbling a few notes will make me as familiar as ever with the name I should first have written, I received the other day my watch seal from Philad@. It has the coat of arms engraved upon it and in the most beautiful manner. The seal itself is of cornelian, and is of a conical-triangular shape, and is so so massive and showy and beautiful that I am half ashamed to wear it. I will stamp this letter with the seal. The impression sent with it in wax is almost perfect. It is such a one as you have of yours. I have not got off to Hagerstown yet and begin to think that mother will not go. Before my return her desire to pay Kate a visit arose mainly in my opinion from her discontent and unhappiness at the time and as she is becoming better reconciled she feels less the desire for change. Do not expect her to take the trip at present. I may possibly pay them a flying visit in a couple of weeks, but am not particularly anxious as to the time. We have not heard any further tidings from Phila. The last were favourable - they consisted of a conversation of one of our citizens with Dr Kirkbride, in which he expressed his opinion that the symptoms were favourable. Dr Gilbert told me he would write today or tomorrow & we may therefore expect a reply in the course of a week. Since my return I have thought of various matters connected with his sickness and it struck me to ask you whether any measures had been taken to secure him the benefits of the Sons of Temperance or the other similar institutions in Harrisburg, of which he is a member. It appears to me that I had a conversation on the subject with you but I have forgotten the tenor of it. The amount he would justly receive would be of use to his family under the circumstances ...", 2 sides 4to., with original autograph envelope postmarked Gettysburg with the seal that he refers to in the letter, 29th May
