[untitled] [excerpt]
The passing of McKinley, to which you refer, is one of those events that I hate to think about. Sad as it was it has brought the sections still closer [460][461] together. Down here in Atlanta a fund has already been raised to build a McKinley monument—a fact that will give you an idea of the feeling in the South.
