I was pained to hear that you are sufffering more and more,
but was glad to know that your brave spirit has never been bowed—and
that in all
your agony your heart keeps sweet and strong.
I think of you a thousand times a day, and of the great good you have done the world.
You have uttered such brave,
free and winged words—words
that have thrilled and ennobled the hearts and lives of millions—that
my admiration has deepened to obligation.
Again I thank you for for your courage, and again I lovingly say farewell—and yet I hope to see you soon
Yours always R G Ingersoll
