He was thanking her for assisting them in their getaway and all of her care, since at this time he believed he was going to be put to death.

After the war, Meagher was appointed Secretary of the new Territory of Montana. Soon after arriving there, he was designated acting Governor. Has water stains and is 170 years old.
