Included in this PDF is Bean's transcript of the letter. A modern version has been uploaded for the benefit of the researcher.
As a side note, it seems that due to the tenor of this letter Samuel R. Lemont succumbed to his sickness and passed away between the time that Frank went home and this letter. However without further information this is only the archivist's theory.
