Dorchester March 23d 1863 My dear Mrs Cushman - It is so very difficult for me to think calmly upon my great loss that I have allowed your most generous letter to remain unanswered longer than courtesy or gratitude permits, but you will, I am sure, overlook my fault and believe that it arose from a lack of [firmness?] to tell you how I appreciate your sympathy in this most bitter trial. God's wisdom and goodness is in this I know - as in all he does, but there are so many unhappy circumstances connected with it, and my <hr /> rebellious nature is so hard to curb that I must complain - it is impossible for me to choke down the bitter cry of despair and submit in silence to the will of Him who doeth all things well. Learning from Lucy that you were ill I feared the shock would be too great for you - knowing your love for Mary - and it was with a feeling of great relief, apart from the comfort your letter gave me, that I received this assurance of your sympathy. My poor little motherless one is in excellent health and well cared for by my Mother and the nurse <hr /> she is very devoted to the child & I shall keep her as long as possible as Mary wished although I have great difficulty with her at times. It will indeed be heart rending when the innocent eyes look up to me and the baby tongue asks me 'where is mother?' But I must dismiss these thoughts for I feel my manhood giving way, nor are you [prepared?] to be troubled with the sorrows of another. I send you a copy of the last picture taken of Mary - 'tis all I have at present but will in a day or two have one of an ambrotype taken at age of sixteen - when I first <hr /> knew her - which I will give to Lucy for you.

Springfield Aug 19th 1863 Hon. Amos Tuck My Dear Sir. I thank you for your very kind letter, and though you very much over rate my services, I feel much better to have it this way, than to have them underrated as they are by mean partizans and the enemies of the country. Allow me to say in return that if not so prominently before the public in the raising of men and means for the war as I have necessarily been, I have not the least doubt you have more ably and efficiently aided the Government in your department than I have in mine. You are able to bring to the public service a riper experience a clearer judgement and an effective statesmanship which one of my impulsive nature can never hope to attain. The signs of the times are not pleasant here. I had hoped that our recent victories would have overawed the copperheads but they served rather to show them that the political ascendancy, for which they were striving, was rapidly passing out their hands and they are now deliberately debating whether they had not better embroil the free states in revolution than not get the control of the Government. In every part of our state they are organizing-attend their public meetings, in some parts, in squads of from one to five hundred armed with rifles and revolvers-assassinations, shootings [etc?] are not unfrequent. Demagogues appeal to every prejudice, the most hateful and meanest of all is the prejudice against N. England. I believe all will come out right, but the country is yet to pass through unexpected trials and to see horrors it has not yet seen. My love and that of [illegible] Mrs Tuck Your friend Richd.
