During the Civil War, the Wisconsin governor, Governor Harvey, drowned while visiting the Wisconsin camps after the battle of Shiloh. He was known as being incredibly generous. His wife took up charitable work afterwards and was well-loved. But I came across this letter, and it moved me to tears. I thought I'd share it with you.
