Lewis Powell: The conspirator who was "different."

I can't remember it in detail, but it was something about when you are living in revolutionary times you have to expect assassination as part of the package. This guy was disfigured for life, almost lost his son and did lose his wife six weeks later as a result of Powell's actions but he seemed almost, if not understanding about it, he accepted it and bore no ill will. It just struck me, and stayed with me after I read it.

The exact comment in full was posted here on this Forum by Linda Anderson, but I don't remember which thread.

Yes, me, too, struck such admirable attitude and strength when I read about this!!!

Linda, if there's an original quote by Seward, I missed it, and would love to read it. Do you still recall it or where you posted this? I've only read what I posted here:
