That's fascinating, though awful. "A magnificent and terrible sight"--that's a nice line, though one shudders a bit at the "magnificence."

I took a quick look at that letter you linked to. Didn't have time to try to puzzle it all out, though I got the caption and a bit of it. But yes, very moving.

Thanks for sharing.
