¬°•| غَيثُ مِن الَعطاء ُ|•°¬
From: Abraham Lincoln
Date: Nov. 21, 1864
“Dear Madam,—I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
A. Lincoln”

اطَلَعْتُ فِي مَلَفَاتِ قِسْمِ دَائِرَةِ الْحَرْبِ عَلَى بَيَانٍ مِنَ القَائِدِ العَامٍ لِوِلايَةِ مِاسَاتْشُوسْتِس أََنَكِ أُمٌ لِخَمْسَةِ أَبْنَاءٍ قَضَوا بِشَرَفٍ فِي المَيْدَان. أُحِسُ كَمْ هِيَ كَلِمَاتِي ضَعِيفَةُ وَخَاوِيَةٌ إِذْ أٌحَاوِلُ أَنْ أًسَلِيكِ فِي مُصَابَكِ الجَلَلْ. وَلكِنٍي، لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَمْنَعَ نَفْسِي تَقْدِيمَ وَاجِبَ العَزَاءِ لَكِ لَعَلَهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي عِرْفَانِ الجُمْهُورِيَةِ والذَيْنَ مَاتُوا لَتَحْيِى هِيَ
أَسْأَلُ الأبَ القُدُوسَ أَنْ يُذْهِبَ آلامَ فَقْدِكَ لَهُم، وَأَنْ يَتْرٌكَ لَكِ مِمْنْ أِحْبَبْتِيهُم وَفَقَدْتِيهُمْ الذٍكْرَى العَزِيزَةَ فَقَطْ، وَأََنْ يَكُونَ فَخْرُكِ العَظِيم الذَي هُوَ مِلْكٌ لَكِ قَدْ أَهْدَى قُرْبَانا عَظِيمَا عَلَى مَذْبَحِ الحُرٍيَةِ
مخلصك
