	Title:	Letter, August 27, 1881, Ellen Call Long, Washington, to her sister Mary Call Brevard, Tallahassee, 4 pp., regarding various family matters and the assassination of President Garfield: "As to the Grove - the house may be burned down and all the family in it for what I know - it is six weeks since I heard from any of them and though I have been sick they have never written to inquire if I died or not. . . Nonie is very attentive in writing . . . but I am very sorry that she left me. I have found it so lonely. . . Our poor President is failing and before you receive this I suppose he will have gone - the only consolation is that Gitteau must now hang . . . I have never seen a man that I admired more personally than Garfield. . . I do wish he had had a good chance to prove his full capacity. . ."
