But time, which in the end makes all things even, 336 THE DEATH OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN. 237 will blunt the sharpest grief. When, recently, a highly valued lady friend placed at my disposal a letter written only one day later by the graceful pen of a veteran observer at the capital, I learned that I could read of our great President's taking-off with- out pain, and even with a kind of chastened pleasure. I have learned that a very general desire exists among the thoughtful of the generation born sin...ce the Civil War to read accounts of its incidents truth- fully written by those who saw or participated in them. I am permitted to gratify this desire by the publication of Mr. Blair's letter, and I will add to it some recollections of my own. Only the savage elements in our nature find their gratification in war. Probably there never was a war in which there were not in each of the contend- ing nations or parties some who were wicked and reckless enough to be willing to emplo}^ against their adversary the secret skill of the poisoner and the knife and bullet of the assassin.
