The money quote: “I am skeptical that history can be of much help in alleviating our collective anxiety and fear about our immediate and long-term future, but I do think it can be instructive to remind ourselves that we’ve been hear before, that the same doubts and fears about our nation’s future, in moments just like this, have always been present..“
I read this before I voted today and it brought tears to my eyes. The letter is beautifully written with themes that resonate today. Thanks for posting.

Glad to hear it resonated with you, Steve. It certainly did with me.
Writing like that we rarely see today.
I agree. Thanks for reading.
Marvelous post. I’m so glad this was the first thing I read this morning. Gave me some solace and hope to start what I thought might be a dreary day.
Glad to hear it. Have a great day.
