There Is No Unbelief
One of these cards above referred to, autographed by Mrs. Case, is now in the possession of Mr. Vincent Starrett, of Chicago, and it is from this that the version of the poem herewith given is taken.
A little further information about Mrs. Case is contained in a letter from one of her friends, Mr. Daniel Gibbons, of Brooklyn, N. Y.:
Mrs. Case was the wife of Chief Engineer James Madison Case, U. S. Revenue Marine—now known as the Revenue Cutter Service. He was stationed on inspection duty, overseeing the construction of the U. S. Fish Commission steamer Fish Hawk, at the yards of the Pusey & Jones Co., Wilmington, Delaware, in 1881, and it was there that I knew him. He was a little bit of a man not much if any above five feet in height, making up by a large manner for his deficiency in inches. I never heard that Mrs. Case was a Friend. She was an uncommonly fine and refined woman.
A letter from Mrs. Mary E. Marshall, of New York City, adds the following:
