He sent a message to Lafayette saying that it would be impossible for him to go on with the work at present and received the following note of sympathy: I have feared to intrude upon you, my dear sir, but want to tell you how deeply I sympathise in your grief a grief of which nobody can better than me appreciate the cruel feelings. You will hear from me, as soon as I find myself again near you, to finish the work you have so well begun. Accept my affectionate and mournful sentiment. LAFAYETTE.
