Howard, Oliver Otis, 1830-1909
Letter signed
Title: to J. Bok
Howard received the Beecher Memorial and read many of the contributions. He accepted the book as thanks for his contribution. He believes Mrs. Holloway's article best captured Beecher in concise and comprehensive terms. He also refuses to write an anticipatory obituary. His own death gives him no apprehension: " 'To live is Christ, to die is gain.' "
