It brings back very vividly the venerable form and the lovely
character I met and revered in the Massachusetts Legislature
when I was a young man, and have ever since held among the
safest and best of the land. Permit me to count it my own
best fortune that I can subscribe myself the colleague and
friend of the son and biographer of Samuel Hoar.
Truly yours,
H. L. DAWES.
The Honorable Geo. F. Hoar,
Senate.
HONORABLE GEO. F. HOAR
_Dear Sir_
Thanks for the "Memoir of Samuel Hoar, by his Son, George
F. Hoar."
For years the character of this true man, as a noble, courageous,
self-sacrificing and independent American citizen has commanded
my profound admiration and respect, and I am greatly pleased
to become more familiar with his life. Fortunately the facts
of it need no ornamentation or partial painting by the Son,
for the modesty of the latter would never have responded to
any such necessity.
I am,
Very truly,
Yours, etc.
WM. P. FRYE.
LEICESTER, March 13/84.
_Dear Mr. Hoar:_
I cannot too much thank you for sending me the memoir--tho'
so brief and exceedingly temperate--of your father.
