Title: Letter, October 13, 1834, Andrew Jackson, Washington, to Richard K. Call, Tallahassee, 2 pp.: "Your heart rending letter of the 2nd instant is now before me transmitting the melancholy intelligence of the sudden and unexpected death of two of your children. With heartfelt pain I sincerely tender to you and Mrs. Call my condolence. . . I feel for you both, but how much more for Mary. She feels all that a tender mother can feel on the loss of two darling infant children. I rejoice to learn from you that she bears this heavy bereavement with Christian fortitude. He that giveth has a right to take away, and whosoever the Lord loveth he chastiseth, and at all times and on all occasions we ought to submit to his will and with humility say, let it be done. They are happy in the arms of their saviour -- peace to their names. . ." [Bottom of letter torn away: text lost. Presidential frank on verso.] [Separated from Box 1, File Folder 2; see Separation Sheet]
