Excerpt from Morris Ketchum Jesup: A Character Sketch More than this the materials available do not allow. Mr. Jesup was not a man of words, but Of deeds. He never wrote a letter when he could accomplish his end by an interview, and of the letters which he wrote and received, only a handful have been preserved. A brief autobio graphical fragment in his own handwriting has preserved a few dates and facts concerning the early years. But for the most part the story of his life must be gleaned from the records Of the institutions which he served, or woven together from the memories which survive in the hearts of his fellow-workers. If, in spite of these limitations, it has been possible to give any degree Of unity to the picture, the explanation must be found in the forcefulness of a character, which stamped itself so deeply upon whatever it touched, that, even after the lapse of years, the impress preserves something of the Virility and distinction of the original.
