From Florida Memory: Letter, August 23, 1853, Richard K. Call, Lake Jackson, to Ellen Call Long, Tallahassee, 2 pp., consoling her on the death of her daughter Ellen Douglass: ''Your affliction has been very great my dear child, but it is only the common lot of humanity . . .I have often thought . . . that it is happy for man that he can die. . . it seems to me necessary that this life should have an end . . . I hope Mary and the dear children are all well this morning, and that I shall have the happiness of seeing you tomorrow. Come prepared to stay as long as you can.''

Call, Richard Keith
