Do you think they're friends in the afterlife. Do they play with little toy soldiers together and write letters to their parents while they wait for them to join them. Do you think once they finally arrive, they force Lincoln and Pierce into the most unlikely friendship, same with Jane and Mary?? The power of children to bring adults together, even in death.

The impulse to write you, the moment I heard of your great domestic affliction was very strong, but it brought back the crushing sorrow which befel me just before I went to Washington in 1853, with such power that I felt your grief, to be too sacred for intrusion.

Hey @postcards-from-richard-nixon: I saw your tags about Franklin Pierce on the reblog from earlier:

Just FYI for you and any other Piercers (yes, I just made that term up), the Library of Congress has a lot of Franklin Pierce's correspondence digitized and available online. A lot of the correspondence available so far are letters that were written TO Pierce, but there's a lot to explore. Unfortunately, some of the digitized documents aren't in great shape, and some of Pierce's handwriting can be really difficult to decipher, even by the already-difficult-to-decipher standards of the time period. (Also, the Library of Congress website doesn't have the most user-friendly interface, so it takes a bit to get used to and, even then, it is frustrating.) But there is stuff on there to dig through for Pierce researchers!

New Additions

Another batch of history peeps turned into Angels. From left to right: James Buck, Pierce, and Taft.

WISE 1534-1043 "The Accident": A Brown Dwarf Angel, an Angel that's neither a planet or a star. It isn't recognized by planetary Angels nor welcomed by Stellar Angels. It usually spend its time wandering in universe and avoiding other Angels, especially Stellar.

Barnard's Star: A Red Dwarf Angel, the smallest out of Stellar Angels, they're very dim and small and burn their core very slowly. They're "friend" with WISE-1543, but usually don't want to be near it. Because they burn their core so slowly they can outlive many of their kind.

WOH G64 "Behemoth": A Red Supergiant Angel, a Stellar Angel that is on the brink of death. Its body is barely held together by gravity as its core burns hotter and faster before it collapses. They appear bright in front of other Angels, but extremely unstable underneath that they never show to others.
