me a source of unusual regret, for there is no man I wish more deeply to see thus appreciated, nor one more deserving of the genuine regard of his fellows and the admiration of all his friends, who know the man and love him.
A stainless, useful life is his record so far, which, we who know him, know full well, is to remain stainless to the end.
Added years to Carl Schurz can only bring added honors. He and disgrace are strangers.
Long life to him for his country's sake, and for all of your sakes, his friends.
Very truly yours,
George Wilson, Esq., Secretary Carl Schurz Dinner.
FROM MR. CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER.
George Wilson, Esq., Secretary.
Dear Sir: Nothing could give me more pleasure
than to join in the recognition of the distinguished
public service and the great intellectual ability and
moral courage of Carl Schurz at the dinner on the
second of March.
But according to my present arrangements I shall not be in this region on that date.
If I fortunately am, I shall inform you in time, so that a seat may be given me at the table.
Yours sincerely,
