R. E. Lee Gibson: * * * I have been so wrought up over the disaster that has befallen our country through the hand of an assassin, that I have, for the time being, practically given up writing. The death of McKinley is terrible! terrible! I have not had anything to affect me so since the killing of Garfield. No punishment on earth is adequate to the crime. * * *
