Excerpt from Benjamin Lee, 2d: A Record Gathered From Letters, Note-Books, and Narratives of Friends
Always he had seemed, with a rare instinct, to hold the balance true between the gifts that life so bounti fully bestowed upon him and those gifts that she demanded of him - even to the complete giving of himself. He was not of those who always seem to be waiting to live; he lived with a zest as he went along, quite conscious of the happiness and beauty of his days: and though there appeared to be so much of satisfaction and achievement in store for him, yet it is almost with surprise that we find ourselves realizing how much he had made his few years tell; and that in the wealth of his experience, the extent and depth of his personal in?uence, and in the winning of his manhood, he had already lived a well-rounded life, a life that reached the heights of happiness and of honor.
