Dear Mrs Mac Curtin, I am like so many
more, — I have often wished,
as they have wished that we
could have said more, or,
rather, had done anything,
for you and yours —
beyond our poor prayers 2 For myself, indeed I
felt almost a regret
that I was not out of this
world; only for the
sorrow death causes
others. and then,
when Almighty God per-
mitted your husband
to go, I could not
help feeling so much
as I feel every day
— that I should have
been very willing to
go instead, if by
that he had been
spared to do all
the good he seemed
so fitted to do. He
would have brought 3 LI945:221 peace to our city; as
I heard one say who was
not with him in national
heart. And it is hard
for even us, outside
his home, to feel they
in hope, in what
my wife heard a child say
as she passed this day week
He will do more good for
Ireland in Heaven than on
Earth. But, may God grace Yours very Sincerely W. Stackley
