I don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.
I deeply appreciate your letter, and I realize to the full the heavy responsibility it puts upon me.
I care for the great deeds of the past chiefly as spurs to drive us onward in the present.
If you will steal for me you will steal from me.
