are his noble compeers in that
grand scheme-

But they are all gone to Rest;
each in the order of his Episcopate-

and with is buried, I fear, the last
hope of the University of the South.

It is an inestimable privilege
to have enjoyed, during their lives,
in any measure, the confidence &
friendship of such men-

It is a sorrowful pleasure to cherish
with filial affection, their memory-

With sentiments of the
most respectful consideration
I remain, dear Madam,
very truly yours,
David Pise
