In this line he produced a lithographic album 'Views in the Environs of Paris' 'Studies of Animals for an edition of Buffon' &c.

Now while the whole country mourns I will not admit that after those who were closest in blood there is no who loved or admired your great father more…than I. Surely no one had more peculiar opportunities to know the wisdom and the genius of your great father to test his full and loyal nature. My life…should for twenty years made me contemplate his career and the constant assistance he gave me by…the informal knowledge I had…in him the solder was truly the development of the man…know not only the soldier by the man. He came towards Genl Grant…so magnanimous and so difficult…unsurpassed for freedom from moral defect. In all my…peculiar knowledge of his character and career I never found a manner a shadow of a vice…My heart has spoken in spite of me. I only want to say to all the sons and daughters of Genl Sherman that after themselves and the others closest in blood no one in the nation has better cause to mourn because no one has more cause to love and admire his memory. Your father and mother were both my friends and you will let me tell you all that…â€. There are some additional words in another’s handwriting. There are a few crossouts and two faint folds that affect little. unknown books
