&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the Sound
July 3d 1889
Greenwich
Conn
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Jervy
I have just heard of your father's death---the dear old gentleman must have suffered long in his helpless condition &amp;amp; in the knowledge of the care he has been to you. Of course such losses are painful to us &amp;amp; yet they bring a solace in the knowledge that our dear suffers have relief in their release. It is strange that not for
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;many months did I feel any grief for my mother's death, all I realized was the fact that the dear, weary soul was gone to rest. I feel alarm for you, Jervy; this blow coming at a time when you are ill, mentally and physically, must be greater than you can bear &amp;amp; I sympathize sincerely with Sarah in the anguish she must endure; but women are wonderfully strong in such emergencies &amp;amp; I've no doubt her brave heart will hold you up. I have been badly pestered by many bothers of late &amp;amp; am here for a
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;few days rest. The next two weeks I expect to pass in the dentist's chair, having sadly neglected my teeth the dentist finds a very serious condition that requires careful treatment. So soon as he [dismisses?] me I am engaged with several friends for a cruise to Bar Harbor, which they defer on my acct.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope soon to hear from you---direct to c/o [illegible] C. Benedict Greenwich, Conn &amp;amp; tell me how your own threatened illness stands; I hope it
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has passed from you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is hurriedly scratched "aboard ship" while paddling the Sound.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give my affectionate  sympathy to your sisters, Jr brother &amp;amp; God bless you!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin Booth

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On the Sound
July 3d 1889
Greenwich
Conn
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Jervy
I have just heard of your father's death---the dear old gentleman must have suffered long in his helpless condition &amp;amp; in the knowledge of the care he has been to you. Of course such losses are painful to us &amp;amp; yet they bring a solace in the knowledge that our dear suffers have relief in their release. It is strange that not for
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;many months did I feel any grief for my mother's death, all I realized was the fact that the dear, weary soul was gone to rest. I feel alarm for you, Jervy; this blow coming at a time when you are ill, mentally and physically, must be greater than you can bear &amp;amp; I sympathize sincerely with Sarah in the anguish she must endure; but women are wonderfully strong in such emergencies &amp;amp; I've no doubt her brave heart will hold you up. I have been badly pestered by many bothers of late &amp;amp; am here for a
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;few days rest. The next two weeks I expect to pass in the dentist's chair, having sadly neglected my teeth the dentist finds a very serious condition that requires careful treatment. So soon as he [dismisses?] me I am engaged with several friends for a cruise to Bar Harbor, which they defer on my acct.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I hope soon to hear from you---direct to c/o [illegible] C. Benedict Greenwich, Conn &amp;amp; tell me how your own threatened illness stands; I hope it
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;has passed from you.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is hurriedly scratched "aboard ship" while paddling the Sound.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Give my affectionate  sympathy to your sisters, Jr brother &amp;amp; God bless you!
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin Booth

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Players
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;16 Gramercy Park.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Jervis-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I did get both your letters from Mexico and have metaphorically kicked myself many times for not telling you how pleased I was---especially with the first very interesting one. The second referred to my illness---wh threatened to be very serious, but I pulled through---although I found it best to curtail my season---four weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am all right now, but so weary---nothing seems to rouse me from the lethargy which has prevented me from writing not only to you but my other friends, &amp;amp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this only, dear Jervy, is the why I have neglected you. I hope you will get in the habit of coming here often, at all events while I am here---at present my visit is but brief, but I'll be acting here in October &amp;amp; you must call after---'tis the best place in town for a quiet, congenial loaf. If I'm not below come to my room above &amp;amp; chat. I will try to frame a business-like reply to your business letter, but doubt if I can do it properly. I have no clear recollection of the Mtge---but have an idea that the amount is &lt;u&gt;$14000&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; that part of it is on your lot, am I correct? If what I suggest does not suit just jot down how I can
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;best serve you in the matter. The papers are in my Boston safe---not here, and it may be a couple of weeks before I go to that city, unless it is necessary you should have them earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am sorry you are not entirely well, but glad to know that you are happy on your dear old hill-top. Remember me most kindly to all the family with my love to Jervy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Players
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;16 Gramercy Park.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Jervis-
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I did get both your letters from Mexico and have metaphorically kicked myself many times for not telling you how pleased I was---especially with the first very interesting one. The second referred to my illness---wh threatened to be very serious, but I pulled through---although I found it best to curtail my season---four weeks.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am all right now, but so weary---nothing seems to rouse me from the lethargy which has prevented me from writing not only to you but my other friends, &amp;amp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;this only, dear Jervy, is the why I have neglected you. I hope you will get in the habit of coming here often, at all events while I am here---at present my visit is but brief, but I'll be acting here in October &amp;amp; you must call after---'tis the best place in town for a quiet, congenial loaf. If I'm not below come to my room above &amp;amp; chat. I will try to frame a business-like reply to your business letter, but doubt if I can do it properly. I have no clear recollection of the Mtge---but have an idea that the amount is &lt;u&gt;$14000&lt;/u&gt; &amp;amp; that part of it is on your lot, am I correct? If what I suggest does not suit just jot down how I can
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;best serve you in the matter. The papers are in my Boston safe---not here, and it may be a couple of weeks before I go to that city, unless it is necessary you should have them earlier.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I am sorry you are not entirely well, but glad to know that you are happy on your dear old hill-top. Remember me most kindly to all the family with my love to Jervy.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Ever yours
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin
&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Jervis
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two or three days ago I rec'd notice from 2d Nat: Bank - where I deposit - that your check had been returned from the Bk of Metropolis on acct of some irregularity in the signature and they want it as it appears in their book to conform with that which you left at yr bank. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I couldn't attend to it at the time but have sent word to send me the chk &amp;amp; I will return it to you for correction. I now go to Boston (Hotel Thorndike) for the next two weeks. Forgive my haste. I hope you are well  Yours forever 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Two or three days ago I rec'd notice from 2d Nat: Bank - where I deposit - that your check had been returned from the Bk of Metropolis on acct of some irregularity in the signature and they want it as it appears in their book to conform with that which you left at yr bank. 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I couldn't attend to it at the time but have sent word to send me the chk &amp;amp; I will return it to you for correction. I now go to Boston (Hotel Thorndike) for the next two weeks. Forgive my haste. I hope you are well  Yours forever 
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Edwin

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My Dear Mr. Harrison
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your letter of the 3d came when I was en route home after my long trip to the East &amp;amp; was held for me or it would have been sooner acknowledged.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I appreciate highly the kind feeling which prompted your note &amp;amp; the [wish?] of the

&lt;hr /&gt;other members of Lafayette Camp [illegible] of veterans that I should become a member &amp;amp; I suppose there would not be much training of a point to consider my father's position as [instilling?] his son to join the [illegible], though he considers himself so far from being a veteran, that he proceeded and sent a substitute into the [illegible]

&lt;p&gt;The objection [illegible] to my joining your camp is that I think if I joined any, it should be one at Chicago my home. I have not though of doing so because I belong to the [illegible] generation, was myself an officer &amp;amp; in a feeble way a veteran &amp;amp; am a member of the Loyal Legion - If you see that for me to make an application would be [illegible] the [vain?] efforts of an old

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Sincerely Yours

E.K. May
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In answer to your enquiry about the exicution of the Lincoln Conspirators I will say
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I build the Gallows and conducted the exicution of Mrs Surratt Payne, Herold &amp;amp; Azerott. in person
All were hanged on the same Gallows and at the same time. Genl Hartranft stood on the Gallows platform and read their death sentence. No person can or will dispute this statement.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours,
Capt Chris Rath.
Jackson Mich
&lt;/p&gt;

E.K. May
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dear Sir
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In answer to your enquiry about the exicution of the Lincoln Conspirators I will say
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I build the Gallows and conducted the exicution of Mrs Surratt Payne, Herold &amp;amp; Azerott. in person
All were hanged on the same Gallows and at the same time. Genl Hartranft stood on the Gallows platform and read their death sentence. No person can or will dispute this statement.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Respectfully Yours,
Capt Chris Rath.
Jackson Mich

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Please pardon my intrusion upon you in your overwhelming sorrow but I must [bear&amp;#160;?] my humble tribute of sincere sympathy with you in the loss of an affectionate Father.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Console yourself with the reflection that all is well with him and that he is at peaceful rest and rejoice in the rich legacy of a grand name everywhere honored,  which he has left you and your children.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear Edwina
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went over to Bar Harbor yesterday and Dora told me the sad news of your great loss. What can I say to you Edwina dear! Words cannot express the deep and tender feeling of sympathy I have for you. I think your love of and relationship with your
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;father were peculiarly sweet and touching, so I can partly realize what your great sorrow must be.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a consolation to you to have such a husband and such dear children to turn to in this sad crisis of your life! You shall be in my thoughts and in my prayers tomorrow. My father and mother and my husband ask me to add their messages of sympathy. Your loving friend.

&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My dear Edwina
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I went over to Bar Harbor yesterday and Dora told me the sad news of your great loss. What can I say to you Edwina dear! Words cannot express the deep and tender feeling of sympathy I have for you. I think your love of and relationship with your
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;father were peculiarly sweet and touching, so I can partly realize what your great sorrow must be.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;What a consolation to you to have such a husband and such dear children to turn to in this sad crisis of your life! You shall be in my thoughts and in my prayers tomorrow. My father and mother and my husband ask me to add their messages of sympathy. Your loving friend.
