&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Honored Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, the mayor, aldermen, and citizens of Hereford, in council assembled, view with the utmost detestation and horror the flagitious crime by which the life of Mr. President Lincoln has been so cruelly sacrificed, and desire to express the deep sympathy we entertain with the government and people of the United States of America under the severe calamity which this atrocious act has inflicted upon them.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We also beg most respectfully to offer to Mrs. Lincoln our sincere condolence under the awful bereavement which she has sustained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;And we are most anxious to convey to the American nation our sentiments of deep grief and indignation at the cowardly attack which has been made upon the life of Mr. Secretary Seward, together with our earnest hope that he may very soon recover from the severe wounds which have been inflicted upon him.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;As the representatives of the inhabitants of this ancient city, we request that you will do us the favor to forward to the President of the United States, to Mrs. Lincoln, and to Mr. Secretary Seward these expressions of our sentiments, with the assurance that it is our anxious desire that no other feelings than such as are consonent with those above expressed will ever prevail between the people of this realm and those of the United States.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At Glasgow, and within the Merchants&amp;rsquo; Hall, this 3d day of May, 1865, at a meeting of the members of the Merchants&amp;rsquo; House, called by public advertisement for the purpose of &amp;ldquo;expressing abhorrence at the detestable crime which has deprived the United States of President Lincoln, and to vote an address of condolence to them on this melancholy occasion,&amp;rdquo; Archibald Orr Ewing, esq., lord dean of guild, in the chair&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The clerk read the advertisement calling the meeting, after which the lord dean of guild proposed the following resolution:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this house have received the intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln of the United States of America with sentiments of horror and pain.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That they desire to express their heartfelt sympathy and condolence with the people of the United States, who, in a manner so shocking to every feeling of humanity and so subversive of social order, have been suddenly deprived of their Chief Magistrate at a momentous crisis in the history of their country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this house would record their high respect for the character of the late President Lincoln, and their grateful remembrance of his endeavors, at all times, to preserve and cultivate friendly relations with Great Britain; and they would express their earnest hope and prayer that the prospects of internal peace which had opened to the United States during the last days of Mr. Lincoln&amp;rsquo;s life may not be materially affected by the execrable deed which has brought that life prematurely to an end.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Which resolution, having been seconded by Sir James Campbell, of Stracathro, was unanimously agreed to.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was then moved by Alexander Harvey, esq., that the lord dean of guild be authorized to sign the resolutions now read and approved by this house, and that he thereafter forward them to the United States government through the American minister in London.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Which motion, having been seconded by William M&amp;rsquo;Ewen, esq., was also unanimously carried.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The lord dean of guild having declared the business of the meeting terminated, it was thereupon moved by Peter White, esq., that a vote of thanks be accorded to the lord dean of guild for the promptitude with which he had called the meeting, and for the able manner in which he had presided.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Which motion having been carried by acclamation, the meeting separated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed and sealed with the corporation seal of the Merchants&amp;rsquo; House, in name and by appointment of said house, at Glasgow, this 3d day of May, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;[&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;seal&lt;/span&gt;.]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolutions passed at a meeting held by the inhabitants of Galway&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;Public meeting in Galway, May, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a public meeting held in the town court-house on Thursday, 4th instant, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Thomas M. Persse, esq., chairman of town commissioners, in the chair.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Proposed by Rev. Peter Daly, P. P., seconded by A O&amp;rsquo;Flaherty, esq., D. L:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we, the citizens of Galway, have heard with feelings of horror and indignation of the atrocious murder of the President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln, and the attempted assassination of Mr. Secretary Seward, and we hereby join our fellow-countrymen in offering our sincere sympathy to the American people on the national bereavement they have sustained.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Proposed by Professor Moffett, LL.D., seconded by R. A. Somerville, esq.:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That although we cannot believe our good words will have much effect in soothing the sorrow of Mrs. Lincoln, yet we cannot separate without expressing our condolence with her on the great calamity that has befallen herself and family in the untimely end of her illustrious husband, and our hope that the universal sympathy of the world may in some measure assuage their great grief.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Proposed by James Campbell, esq., seconded by Rev. J. D&amp;rsquo;Arcy, rector of Galway:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That copies of the foregoing resolutions, signed by the chairman and secretaries of this meeting, on behalf of the people of Galway, be sent to the American minister in London for transmission to Mrs. Lincoln and the United States government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

&lt;p&gt;We, the inhabitants of the town of Galt, Canada West, being British subjects, on hearing of the base assassination of the late honored President of the United States, and also of the foul attempt made upon your own life and that of your sons, have, through our properly constituted authorities, called a public meeting of the inhabitants of this place, to give expression to our sense of horror at these acts, and to express deep sympathy with the bereaved widow and family, yourself and family, and your nation at large, at which this address and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted, and we have instructed our chairman and secretary to sign the same, and to affix to them the seal of our corporation, respectfully soliciting you to present the same to Mrs. Lincoln and family, and also to your nation, as expressive of our deep sympathy with them in this their great affliction; and most earnestly would we pray that the day may never come when such scenes shall be repeated; that peace to your nation may soon be restored, and that the bonds of national and Christian brotherhood which now unite us so closely into one may never be dissolved; that your health may soon be restored, and that you may long live to fill the high station you occupy, to assist in maintaining the unity of the nations in the bonds of peace.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

We cannot but regard it as a base violation of every principle of right, both human and divine, and as such at variance with the spirit and law of all civilized nations.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;2d. Moved by the Rev. Mr. M&amp;rsquo;Ghee, seconded by the Rev. Mr. M&amp;rsquo;Rae, and resolved, that in accordance with the common sympathies of our nature, and in the spirit of our holy Christianity, we hereby beg to present our deep sympathy for and condolence with the bereaved widow and her afflicted family in the loss they have sustained by the removal, especially in such a manner, of an affectionate husband and a kind father.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;3d. Moved by the Rev. Mr. Campbell, seconded by James Cowan, esq., M. P. P., and resolved, that we also hereby beg to express our earnest sympathy with the people of the United States in being thus deprived, at a critical period of their history, of the services of one whom they called to fill the office of Chief Magistrate at a time when that position was beset with most unparalleled difficulties, and yet who so conducted himself as to secure not only the confidence and love of his own people, but also the admiration and esteem of foreign nations, who, from his consistent character, were led to regard him as a sagacious, conciliatory, honest, yet firm chief ruler.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;4th. Moved by the Rev Mr. Murdoch, seconded by William Osborne, esq., and resolved, that we mourn the untimely death of Abraham Lincoln as one honestly desirous of maintaining peace with the British nation, a firm friend of what is dear to us as Britons and as Christians, the cause of emancipation, and it is our confident hope, while it will ever be our prayer, that divine Providence may grant to his successor the same wise and Christian policy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Dated at Galt in the county of Waterloo, this seventeenth day of April, A. D. 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At a special meeting of the town council of the burgh of Greenock, called by order of the provost, and held within the Council Hall there, on Friday, the 5th day of May, 1865, the honorable the provost in the chair&amp;mdash;the provost having stated the object of the meeting, it was unanimously resolved&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council, in common with all classes of their fellow-citizens, have heard with horror, indignation, and profound regret, of the foul and execrable murder of the President of the United States of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council deeply sympathize with the great American republic under the heavy loss which it has sustained by the unexpected and untimely decease, under such revolting circumstances, and in the midst of his illustrious career, of a ruler whose personal excellence and kingly endowments have rendered him an object of honest pride to his own countrymen, and of just admiration to the rest of the world, and whose earnest endeavors to cultivate and maintain friendly relations with Great Britain must ever endear his name and memory to the people of this country.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That this council also deeply sympathize with Mrs. Lincoln and family under their heavy bereavement, and earnestly pray that they may be sustained and supported by Him &amp;ldquo;who is the husband of the widow and the father of the fatherless.&amp;rsquo;&amp;rsquo;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the provost be authorized to sign the resolutions now unanimously approved of by this council, and that the provost, Treasurer Fleming, and Councillor Mortin, be requested to present the same to the American minister in London, with a request that he will kindly forward the same to his government.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Unto the government and people of the United States of America&amp;mdash;the address of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Forfar, in Scotland&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We beg to approach you with heartfelt regret upon the atrocious deed recently perpetrated, through which you have been so suddenly and cruelly bereaved of the wise and patriotic counsels of your honored chief. We have watched his career since he was first elected President of your great country, and he has more and more proved that his subdued firmness and energy, steadfastness to truth and morality, calm and foreseeing practical wisdom and kindly forgiving nature, fitted him for his high office, and specially qualified him for rightly steering the vessel of the state in its present perilous trials. It is, therefore, that we, in common with our countrymen, mourn his loss. We hope and trust that, chastened by the sad event, and guided by and following his noble example, you will in this time of affliction treat tenderly with all who have departed from the path of loyalty, and through your clemency command the admiration of the civilized world, heal shattered and embittered feelings, and engender kindly intercourse, so long rudely dislocated.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Signed in name and behalf of the council, in council assembled, by me, provost Forfar, and the seal of the burgh attached, this first day of May, eighteen hundred and sixty-five.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p class="flushleft"&gt;His Excellency &lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Charles Francis Adams&lt;/span&gt;,&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;em&gt;Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary for the United States of America at the Court of Great Britain and Ireland&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Sir&lt;/span&gt;: We, John Whyte Melville, esquire, of Bennochy and Strathkinness, most worshipful Grand Master Mason, the right worshipful the office-bearer, and the worshipful the members of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons of Scotland, beg leave to assure your excellency that the very sudden and atrocious crime which has plunged the American nation into grief and mourning has produced a feeling of the utmost horror and indignation, not only in the masonic craft of Scotland, and the great Mystic family of the world, but also, we doubt not, throughout the enlightened portion of the civilized globe.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We seize the earliest opportunity afforded to us of expressing these our sentiments and the sorrow we so deeply feel at the loss sustained by the American people in the cowardly assassination of their late President Lincoln.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;While we offer our fraternal sympathies with the distress occasioned to our brethren of the United States and the &amp;ldquo;people in general by this melancholy event, we would request your excellency to convey to Mrs. Lincoln and her family our sincere and heartfelt condolences on their afflicting bereavement, assuring that lady how deeply she has become, in her sudden misfortune, the object of our earnest and warmest sympathy.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Trusting it may graciously please the Great Architect of the Universe to take her and her family into His sure keeping, and bestow upon them every consolation, and strengthen them to bear up against their present affliction, is the united prayer of the Freemasons of Scotland.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Given at Freemansons&amp;rsquo; Hall, in the city of Edinburgh, in full Grand Lodge assembled, the eighth day of May, in the year of our Lord 1865, and of light 5865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p&gt;At the annual meeting of the Welsh Baptist Association, in the county of Glamorgan, South Wales, assembled in Dowlais, in the borough of Merthyr Tydfil, on Tuesday and Wednesday, June 20 and 21, 1865, representing 131 separate congregations, 92 ordained ministers, 96 assistant preachers, 15,163 members in full communion, 17,000 hearers not being communicants, 1,990 sabbath school teachers, with 14,745 Sunday school scholars&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved unanimously&lt;/em&gt;, That the ministers and the messengers in this conference express their deep and heartfelt sympathy with the bereaved widow and fatherless children of the late lamented Abraham Lincoln, together with the whole loyal people of the American continent, on the occasion of the tragical death of the able, honest, and upright man who had been twice chosen by his fellow-men to preside over the affairs of the nation We further view with intense abhorrence the foul manner by which the death of so good a man and so just a ruler was encompassed; but while we deeply lament the death of Abraham Lincoln at so important a moment in the history of America, we beg to express our sincere regard for, and unflinching faith in Andrew Johnson, his successor in the presidential chair, believing that his long practical experience, his honesty of purpose, and his firm determination to do what is right and just, will enable him to do more than carry out the great purposes of the late able ruler, and that through the instrumentality of Andrew Johnson, as Chief Magistrate, assisted by the wise and good around him, under the blessing and guidance of the Most High God, we shall again, and soon, see the States of America united, peaceful, happy and prosperous, the fetters of slavery being forever broken, and all men declared free in name and in fact.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved secondly&lt;/em&gt;, That the foregoing resolution be signed by the three officers of the association, in the name and on behalf of this conference, and that the moderator be respectfully requested to forward the same to the Hon. Francis Adams, the American minister in Great Britain, for transmission to Washington, United States of America.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                <text>&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;Dublin&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;em&gt;April&lt;/em&gt; 29, 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;At a meeting of the citizens of Dublin, convened and presided over by the right honorable the lord mayor, in pursuance of a requisit on signed by a large number of the citizens of Dublin, and held at the Mansion House on Saturday the 29th April, 1865, for the purpose of expressing their indignation and sorrow at the assassination of President Lincoln, and their sympathy with the people of the United States, the following resolutions were unanimously agreed to:&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was proposed by the right honorable the attorney general for Ireland, seconded by the right honorable Joseph Napier, ex-lord chancellor of Ireland, and&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That we, the citizens of Dublin, view the atrocious assassination of his excellency Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, and the attack on the life of the Hon. William Henry Seward, Secretary of State, with feelings of indignation and sincere sorrow. We feel assured that throughout the civilized world there can be but the one sentiment of horror at so revolting a crime, and, in common with the rest of our fellow-countrymen, we desire to express our deep sympathy with the people of the United States under this great national calamity.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was proposed by Alexander Parker, esq., J. P., seconded by Professor John Elliot Kairns, and&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That while we scarcely venture to hope that any words of ours can avail to alleviate grief so profound, yet we cannot forbear expressing our heartfelt condolence with the widow and family of the late President, and our trust that they may be sustained by a merciful Providence under their sad and awful bereavement.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was proposed by Sir Robert Kane, seconded by Alderman J. B. Dillon, and&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Resolved&lt;/em&gt;, That the foregoing resolutions be signed by the right honorable the lord mayor and the secretaries of this meeting, on behalf of the citizens of Dublin, and that they be this day forwarded to Washington for presentation, and that copies of same be sent to the United States minister in London, informing him that we have sent them direct in order to go forward by the present mail.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The right honorable the lord mayor having left the chair, and the earl of IIowth being called thereto,&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;It was moved by the archdeacon of Dublin, seconded by A. M. Sullivan, T. C., and supported by the Rev. Dr. Urwick&amp;mdash;&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;That the marked thanks of this meeting are due and hereby given to the right honorable the lord mayor for his dignified conduct in the chair.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;[&lt;span style="font-variant: small-caps;"&gt;seal&lt;/span&gt;.]&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>Captain Alexander Kinnear Ewing (1840-1874) was one of the three sons of the early Logansport, Indiana settlers, John M. (1814-1867) and Jane Kinnear Ewing (1818-1887). Captain Ewing served in the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to captain in Company B, 128th Indiana Infantry, seeing action during the Atlanta Campaign under General William Tecumseh Sherman. Upon returning from the war, he married Louisa Francis Harris (1844-1899) in 1865 and served as Deputy Postmaster and then Postmaster of Logansport, until his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. His wife, Louisa, served as Postmaster for a brief period after her husband&amp;rsquo;s death and remarried in 1881 to Jehu Z. Powell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Captain Ewing&amp;rsquo;s death, he and Louisa had one daughter, Jennie Ewing (1868-1923), who married Charles E. Marshall in 1887. Charles E. Marshall and Jennie Ewing Marshall had four sons, including Roland Jehu Marshall (1892-1944). Roland and his wife, Eleanor, had two children, including Francis Dwight Marshall. Jennie Ewing moved from Indiana to Illinois and is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection consists of photographs relating to the Ewing family and the family of Charles E. Marshall, including Charles&amp;rsquo; parents, Florence Brown and William P. Marshall, and his grandfather John Colvin Brown.</text>

                  <text>Captain Alexander Kinnear Ewing (1840-1874) was one of the three sons of the early Logansport, Indiana settlers, John M. (1814-1867) and Jane Kinnear Ewing (1818-1887). Captain Ewing served in the Civil War, rising from the rank of private to captain in Company B, 128th Indiana Infantry, seeing action during the Atlanta Campaign under General William Tecumseh Sherman. Upon returning from the war, he married Louisa Francis Harris (1844-1899) in 1865 and served as Deputy Postmaster and then Postmaster of Logansport, until his untimely death at the age of thirty-four. His wife, Louisa, served as Postmaster for a brief period after her husband&amp;rsquo;s death and remarried in 1881 to Jehu Z. Powell. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Before Captain Ewing&amp;rsquo;s death, he and Louisa had one daughter, Jennie Ewing (1868-1923), who married Charles E. Marshall in 1887. Charles E. Marshall and Jennie Ewing Marshall had four sons, including Roland Jehu Marshall (1892-1944). Roland and his wife, Eleanor, had two children, including Francis Dwight Marshall. Jennie Ewing moved from Indiana to Illinois and is buried at Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This collection consists of photographs relating to the Ewing family and the family of Charles E. Marshall, including Charles&amp;rsquo; parents, Florence Brown and William P. Marshall, and his grandfather John Colvin Brown.</text>
