I've brought you a good mother who lost a son at Fredericksburg. She has a message for you.

God help you in your trials, Mr. President, as he has helped me in mine----

And you lost your son at Fredericksburg?
gpt
Yes. It was long before I could feel reconciled. But I've been praying for you day and night since----

For me?
gpt
You must be strong and courageous, and God will bring the Nation through!

You say that to me, standing beside the grave of your son?
gpt
Yes, and beside the cot of my other boy who is here wounded from Chancellorsville. I'm proud that God gave me such sons to lay on the altar of my country. Remember, I am praying for you day and night!

It's all right then. I'll get new strength when I remember that such mothers are praying for me.

Thank you, child. You bring medicine that reaches soul and body!
