My poor boy.
He was too good for this earth.
God has called him home.
I know that he is much better off in heaven, but then
We loved him so.
It is hard, hard to have him die.
The will of God prevails.
In great contests each party claims to act in accordance with the will of God.
Both may be and one must be wrong.
God cannot be for and against the same thing at the same time.
In the present civil war it is quite possible that God's purpose is something different from the purpose of either party.
And yet the human instrumentalities, working just as they do, are of the best adaptation to effect his purpose.
I am almost ready to say that this is probably true.
That God wills this contest.
and wills that it shall not end yet.
By his mere great power on the minds of the now contestants, he could have either saved or destroyed the Union without a human contest.
Yet the contest began.
And having begun he could give the final victory to either side any day.
Yet the contest proceeds.
With all my devotion to the Union and the feeling of loyalty and duty of an American citizen.
