Days of Gladness Past |
|
After the war was well on, a patriot woman of the West urged President Lincoln to make hospitals at the North where the sick from the Army of the Mississippi could revive in a more bracing air. Among other reasons, she said, feelingly: "If you grant my petition, you will be glad as long as you live."
With a look of sadness impossible to describe, the President said:
"I shall never be glad any more."
(from Lincoln's Yarns and Stories , by Colonel Alexander K. McClure)
