S.F.
Mch 12th 1896

Mr. Max Pracht
Dear Sir

Your letter dated
the 11th read with interest.
Please accept my sincere
thanks for your sympathy
and your kind words in
relation to the decision of
the U.S. Supreme Court. The
Judges' decision was only
an act of Justice to the
name and the memory of
one who was held dear to
all who knew him well. I
am profoundly grateful
that Heaven united with
earth to bring about this
act of Justice.

As you well know, the
cares and responsibil-
ities have now increased
and I have yet to learn
how far I can go beyond
