To the Father and Mother of Colonel Elmer E. Ellsworth. My dear Sir and Madam : In the untimely loss of your 15 noble son, our affliction here is scarcely less than your own. So much of promised usefulness to one's country, and of bright hopes for one's self and friends, have rarely been so suddenly dashed as in his fall. In size, in years, and in youthful appearance a boy only, his power to com- 20 mand men was surpassingly great. This power, com- bined with a fine intellect, an indomitable en...ergy, and a taste altogether military, constituted in him, as seemed to me, the best natural talent in that department I ever knew. 25 And yet he was singularly modest and deferential in social intercourse. My acquaintance with him began less than two years ago ; yet through the latter half of the in- tervening period it was as intimate as the disparity of our \ Addresses and Letters 99 ages and my engrossing engagements would permit. To me he appeared to have no indulgences or pastimes ; and I never heard him utter a profane or an intemperate word.
