"...The score standing Stanley none, Morphy four and one drawn game (drawn
through Morphy's carelessness) Stanley resigned the match. Loving Morphy as I do
it is a pleasant thing to tell that, before leaving New York, he sent the
stakes, accompanied by a kind note, to Mrs. Stanley, who, poor lady, sadly needs
them. Stanley would have drunk it all up, but now his wife and children will be
benefitted by the money. When the world should have lost the glorious Paul
(which, God send, may not happen for half-a-century) and someone shall write his
biography I hope this and some other incidents I wot [sic] of, will find a place
in the narrative. They will show that his heart is as great as his intellect is
astute. But he will not let me speak of them now."
