Sumner, who was much attached to him, wrote to him, Dec. 11, 1864: --I learn that you have already left us, and that you are unwell. I am very sorry on both accounts. Yours has been a most eventful service among us. Few ministers are called to perform in a whole life what you have been obliged to crowd into a brief term.
