Our progress was a course of triumph. I might fill a page with the names of the friends in all quarters of the State, including its best men and women, between whom and myself arose friendships which time will never obliterate from my heart. I will only name one who was to us in Ohio what Greeley was in New York, John W. Gray, the editor of _The Plaindealer_, and his wife, one of the loveliest and best of women. Out of the trunks and boxes of letters, whose contents are beyond my power to explore, I have taken a few, almost at random, with no time for selection, which are given below, and from which the reader may gather some particulars of this period, which will in part supply the place of a narrative of our experiences in this, which I have called our Ohio campaign. But I must mention the interesting incidents of two gold medals having been presented, the one to myself, in Cleveland, when I was about to leave, the other to Maggie, at Cincinnati. To Katie was presented a beautiful jewelled watch and chain. I indulge myself in the pleasure of showing mine to my readers. I am unable to show Maggie's (which was oval) because it has been unfortunately lost in a trunk that was stolen. I say nothing of beautiful presents, in diamonds and other jewelry, etc. from ladies and gentlemen, who often seemed to feel that they could not do too much to show us their gratitude for the certain and realized _knowledge_, received through us, of the great truth that our loved and lost still live and love us, and that "death" is only a brief separation of those soon to be reunited forever. [Illustration: A Tribute of Respect _to Mrs. Ann L Fish from Friends in_ CLEVELAND 1851.] The following letters accompanied my medal and Katie's watch and chain. The substantially similar one accompanying Maggie's medal seems to have been lost. "CLEVELAND, July 1, 1851. "MRS. A. LEAH FISH: "DEAR FRIEND--We the undersigned present you with this emblem as a sincere token of our love and affection. "You have been faithful and steadfast in all your duties. You have been instrumental in bringing us to a realization of the truth of Immortality. "May you be blessed with health and crowned with victory, and triumph over your enemies, is the prayer of your united friends. N. E. CRITTENDEN, M. C. WRIGHT, D. A. EDDY, S. D. KELLY, DR. BIGELOW, ANTHONY M. REYNOLDS, JOHN W. GRAY, A. UNDERHILL, R. L. PAINE, E. HINKLY, _Artist, and DR. UNDERHILL, Designer of the Medal_." "CINCINNATI, O., July 9, 1851.
