Varina H. Davis to Friend, 13 January 1902
Hotel Gerard
W 44th St.
 
My very dear Friend,
            Your slip which as your every word I am sure does, shows what my poor husband felt to the last hour of his life—that you are and always were one of his truest friends, I begin to think the only one who steps forth to defend his memory.
 
My heart and sympathy are always with you.
                                                                                               
with affectionate regards to your wife and family
                                                                                               
always yours affectionately
V. Jefferson Davis
