Letters

Famous quotes containing the word letters:

    My business is stanching blood and feeding fainting men; my post the open field between the bullet and the hospital. I sometimes discuss the application of a compress or a wisp of hay under a broken limb, but not the bearing and merits of a political movement. I make gruel—not speeches; I write letters home for wounded soldiers, not political addresses.
    Clara Barton (1821–1912)

    Busy replying to letters from divers office-seekers. They come by the dozens.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Do not write me studied letters but ramble as you please.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
