TO THE UNKNOWN DEAD OF THE WAR HE MARCHED AWAY IN THE GLOAMING. Will Rossiter, Publisher Chicago. New York. Copyright MCMV by Will Rossiter. 60 cents. <hr /> He Marched Away in the Gloaming. (To the Unknown Dead of the War.) Words and Music by Edmond Louis DeLestry. Intro. Tempo di Marcia. 1. At the garden gate, in the ev'ning shade, Stood a lad and a maiden fair; Round his stalwart form she entwined her arm, While he gently stroked her hair. "See, the country calls and my comrads wait, Do not make our parting hard;" "When the fighting's o'er," the young lover said, "I'll return again to you, sweetheart." 2. Each soldier in blue, with heart brave and true Falls in at the word of command; As the sun sinks low on their march they go To fight for their homes and their land. As she weeps at the gate she sees his form fade O'er the hill at the end of the lane; "Go, my soldier brave, the Lord bring you safe To our home and our hearts again." 3. Day and night they marched oft hungry and parched, yet with ne'er a thought but to win; In skirmish and fight leads their banner bright, And the warriors ranks grow thin. At the Wilderness fight when gath'red the night They anxiously called his name; But none could tell, where our hero fell, For never an answer came. Copyright MCMV, by Will Rossiter. Entered according to act of the Parliament of Canada in the year MCMV, by Will Rossiter at the department of Agriculture. <hr /> <hr /> Chorus. A tempo. 1.2.3. And he march'd away in the gloaming, as the bugles sounded clear, At the gate, in anguish moaning, stood the girl he loved so dear; To the fields of fiercest battle Where the country call'd he would go, 'Midst the <hr /> shells and muskets rattle, more than forty years ago. 4. The years have gone by and dimned is her eye, and white are the tresses once fair, But at each twilight shade she would go to the gate while <hr /> gently murm'ring a prayer; But for her not the joy to welcome her boy who gallantly march'd away. In an unmark'd grave with the countless brave, he waits for the judgment day. 4th Chorus. Piu lento. He sleeps alone in the gloaming, Beneath the southern <hr /> skies, The pines and the cypress moaning His requiem where he lies, No more the march and battle his presence now shall know, 'Midst the shells and muskets rattle died a hero years ago. <hr /> A Patriotic March Song.

My true love is a soldier, Upon the battle ground, And if he ever should be lost, I hope he may be found. The draft it was that took him, And it was a heavy blow, It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Chorus: He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb, They took him, yes, they took him To the Arms of Abraham. by Sep. Winner. 30 cents. Published by Sep. Winner, 933 Spring Garden Street. Cincinnati, J. Church, Jr. New York, Wm. A. Pond & Co. Boston, J.C. Haynes & Co. Philadelphia, J.E. Gould. <hr /> 3 HE'S GONE TO THE ARMS OF ABRAHAM. COMIC BALLAD. BY SEP. WINNER. 1. My true love is a soldier In the army now today, It was the cruel war that made him Have to go away; The "draft" it was that took him, And it was a "heavy blow," It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by Sep. Winner, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. <hr /> 4 CHORUS. He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb, They took him, yes, they took him, to the Arms of Abraham. He's gone--he's gone--As meek as ny lamb, They took him, yes, they took him, to the Arms of Abraham. 2. He's gone to be a soldier, With a knapsack on his back, A fightin' for the <hr /> 5 Union, And a livin' on "hard tack." Oh, how he look'd like Christian, In the Pilgrim's Progress shown, With a bundle on his shoulders, But with nothin' of his own. Chorus. 3. Oh, should he meet a rebel, A pointin' with his gun, I hope he may have courage To "take care of number one." If I were him, I'd offer The fellow but a dram; For what's the use of dying Just for Jeff or Abraham? Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 4. Indeed to be a soldier, It is so very hard, For when a fellow has his fun They poke him on the guard: One day he shot a rooster, The captain thought it wrong; And so to punish him they made Him picket all night long. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 5. I haven't got a lover now, I haven't got a beau; They took him as a raw recruit, But mustered him, I know: He's nothing but a private, And not for war inclined, Although a hard old nut to crack A colonel you might find. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. 6. My true love is a soldier, Upon the battle-ground, And if he ever should be lost I hope he may be found; If he should fall a fightin' Upon the battle-plain, I hope some other chap may come And pick him up again. Chorus.--He's gone, &c. <hr /> Something New. Winner's patent self-instructing key-board scale, for the piano or Melodeon; Price one Dollar, (sent by mail for $1.25.)

The immense sale of this answer to the popular song "When this Cruel War is Over" is enough to recommend it without further notice. It has been sung nightly at the Eureka Theatre, in San Francisco, by the popular vocalist Sig. Abecco, amid unbounded applause. The sentiment is good, and the melody beautiful. Chorus.--Yes! I would the war were over, Would the cruel work were done, With our country reunited, And the many States in one. Maryland, my Maryland. 25 [cts] With Union words. Arranged in an easy and effective manner by Sep. Winner. The sixtieth thousand of this pleasing song just issued. This edition is by far the best published, being arranged in a very showy style, and not difficult. Ten hundred thousand, brave and free, Maryland, my Maryland, Are ready now to strike with thee, Maryland, my Maryland. A million more still yet agree To help thee hold thy liberty; For thou shalt ever, ever be Maryland, our Maryland. Isabel, Lost Isabel! 30 [cts] Or, the new "Remember Me." Sentimental Ballad, by Sep. Winner. The subject of this charming song is from the world-renowned story of East Lynne. The melody is very sweet and musical, of a classic order, intended for a good singer. My thoughts still follow after thee, And wander here and there, Like thistle-down in autumn days Upon the chilly air. Since thou art gone, fair Isabel, Whate'er thy dreams may be, Are there not hours in which again Thou must remember me, Isabel, lost Isabel? Her Bright Smile Haunts me still. 25 [cts] New edition; one sharp; easy arrangement. By Sep. Winner. This beautiful song in the original key of Ab (four flats) being rather high in pitch for an ordinary voice, and quite difficult to execute, finds a much more extensive sale in the present form. He's gone to the Arms of Abraham. 25 [cts] Comic war ballad, with chorus, by Sep. Winner. A pretty tune, with machine poetry. The melody is stolen from "Secesh," being a version of the "Bonnie Blue Flag." My true love is a soldier Upon the battle-ground, And if he ever should be lost, I hope he may be found. The draft it was that took him, and it was a heavy blow; It took him for a Conscript, But he didn't want to go. Chorus.--He's gone--he's gone--As meek as any lamb; They took him, yes, they took him To the arms of Abraham. Parting Whispers. (vocal Duett.) 30 [cts] This beautiful song is by Alice Hawthorne. The melody is very sweet and pathetic, and has a touching effect when sung by well-blending voices. Farewell, farewell, farewell, farewell! 'Tis sad, 'tis sad to sever: My parting whisper is to thee, My heart is with thee ever. Battle of Gettysburg. 50 [cts] By J.C. Beckel. A descriptive production of the best class, introducing many new and original effects; moderately difficult. The advance of the armies, followed by the tremendous firing of the rebels, answered by the Union forces, is faithfully portrayed; and the grand combined attack of the whole army under General Meade is very effective; the whole concluding with the cry of "Victory!" mingled with the strains of the ever-glorious Star-Spangled Banner, producing a brilliant and happy termination. Our Sweethearts at Home. 30 [cts] Song and chorus, by Sep. Winner. A pleasing and cheerful ballad, in the popular vein. A song for the family circle. The melody is lively, and arranged in an easy and flowing style. Chorus. Our sweethearts at home, be we ever so far, Live still in our hearts, wherever we are; Away, far away, though wildly we roam, We dream, ever dream, of our sweethearts at home. Banner March. 25 [cts] This March, by Sep. Winner, introduces the popular melody of "The Captain with his Whiskers:" it is very pretty, quite easy, and immensely popular. Danish Dance. 25 [cts] By Sep. Winner. New arrangement of this renowned polka-waltz, as used by the Philadelphia and New York bands. Bluebird Echo Polka. 30 [cts] By Mrs. Mary Morrison. A sprightly and cheerful piece, amusing as well as instructive; altogether, a good parlor pastime. Picnic Waltz. 15 [cts] By Jos. H. Porter. Easy teaching piece, suitable for a pupil in second quarter: pretty melody, in three-four time. Surrender of Vicksburg March. 25 [cts] By Mrs. Mary Morrison. A brilliant and effective composition, of the popular cast, with a beautiful cross-hand movement and very attractive melody. Nettle Schottische. 25 [cts] By Prof. J.E. Kochersperger. A good and graceful melody, in a sound and correct style, with an easy bass. Recommended for ordinary performers. Comet Waltz. 30 [cts] A first-class composition, by Sep. Winner, in the composer's own familiar style,--one of those peculiar melodies that make a permanent impression upon the mind and which we sing at times unconsciously. Flash Schottische. 30 [cts] By Sep. Winner. A brilliant composition, light and showy, not very difficult, but excellent for practice, to attain a fearless and graceful execution. Home Polacca Quadrilles. 30 [cts] By Wm. Coleman. A pretty collection of melodies, introducing "Sweet Home" as the grand finale. Each figure of this celebrated dance is given in full with the music. Copies of the above pieces sent by mail (postpaid). Address Sep. Winner, Music Publisher, 933 Spring Garden Street, Philadelphia.

Lucas Collection Description An account of the resource Scott Wike Lucas was an Illinois attorney and politician. Born in Cass County, Illinois, on February 19, 1892, Lucas attended public schools and Illinois Wesleyan University, where he played baseball and other college sports. While in college, during his summers, he played baseball in the Three-I League, a semiprofessional baseball league organized in Illinois, Indiana, and Iowa. After college, Lucas attended law school and was admitted to the bar in 1915. Lucas served in the United States Army during World War I, rising to the rank of lieutenant. He would later continue his military association by serving as commander of the Illinois Department of the American Legion. After serving as state's attorney for Mason County in the 1920s, Lucas ran in the 1932 Democratic primary as a candidate for the United States Senate from Illinois; however, he lost his primary bid to William H. Dieterich. Governor Henry Horner then appointed Lucas chairman of the State Tax Commission, which Lucas directed from 1933 to 1935. In 1934, Lucas won election to the United States House of Representatives from Illinois. Four years later, he won election to the U.S. Senate and was reelected in 1944. Following President Harry S. Truman's reelection in 1948, Lucas became Senate Majority Leader. He served in that capacity only two years, losing the 1950 general election in Illinois to Republican Everett Dirksen. Lucas died on February 22, 1968. The Scott W. Lucas Collection consists of 38 photographs from Lucas' early life and political career. In addition to images of such influential American politicians as John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson, the collection contains several political cartoons satirizing Lucas and other politicians.

Needs Review Transcription A written representation of a document or a page. White Side Tenn February 17th 1862 His Excellency Governor Richard Yates. Springfield, Ills. Dear Sir! It is not only in my personal interest, but in the interest of the brave men of Illinois under my Command that I adress You these lines. The most sacred treasury a soldier has, is his military honor, an unjust attack upon it is a crime in the eyes of all true men. The solder's honor is a sacred trust in the hands of Superior Officers and this trust should not be violated recklessly or maliciously or to satisfy evil passions. I presume you have read the official report of Major General J. Hooker, concerning the night attack at Wauhatchie, Octbr 28 / 29 1863. In that report are contained strictures on the conduct of a part of the troops of the most revolting character. The report has been published in different newspapers. Whether this was done with the permission of the War Dept., I do not know; if without, the worse the deed. By a mere accident, I came in possession of the Cincinnati Comercial of the 5th of January, and for the first time, saw this report. My Surprise, <hr /> my indignation is not to be described. In a long and eventful life, I met for the first time with such an attack upon my honor. No name is mentioned in the report, no Brigade is specified, but as my Brigade was the first that joined Genl Geary at Wauhatchie, the report could not be understood otherwise, than aiming at 3d Brigade. The surprise of my Commanders, Majr Genl Schurz and Majr Gen Howard, equalled mine. I immediately applied for a court of Inquiry. My application was forwarded to Head Qrt Dept of the Cumberland, accompanied by a letter of Majr Genl Hooker, in which he says, " that he does not know for what reason I connect myself and my Brigade, with the report of the engagement of Wauhatchie, showing himself by this declarations that he heaped dishonor and slander on troops by confounding them with others, mixing up place, time, circumstances, and concocting a false and untrue report for the purpose of ruining man's reputation. The Court was granted, the witnesses are heard, the result of the Court of Inquiry is not doubtful. Majr. Gel Schurz (at whom the blow was aimed, and by mistake fell on myself also) and myself, are fully exonerated by the evidence given, and by a number of witnesses, amongst them, the own aid-de-Camps of Majr Gen Hooker, it <hr /> is shown, that the honor of men and soldiers has been attacked in the most (to use the mildest term) unaccountable and reckless manner. The events of that night, fixed beyond controversy by witnesses, run as follows: The Camp of Brig: Genl Geary's Division of 12th A. Corps, was at Wauhatchie; about 3 miles from it was the Camp of the 11th Corps, no other troops filled the space between Geary and the 11th Corps. The debouchees from Lookout point were open, the enemy broke forward through those defiles for a surprise by a Midnight attack. My Brigade consisted of the 68th NYk, 75th Pennsa, half of the 80th Ills, the other half and the 82nd Ills being detached to guard the Gap near Shell mound, a distance of nearly 20 miles. The 75th Pa arrived late in the night, having been detached to guard the pontoon train, and for this reason I had not yet fallen asleep, when I heard a firing in the direction of Wauhatchie. The Brigade was ordered to fall in, as it was clear to me that the enemy had meant a Surprise and the Brigade was ready to march before orders were received. Ten Minutes past One O'clock, Majr Genl Hooker, ordered Majr Genl Schurz to take the nearest Brigade at hand And push through to Geary; the other Brigades of III Div to follow up the road. Majr Genl Schurz ordered 1st Brigade under Brig: Genl Tyndale forward. <hr /> and led it himself, the two others to follow on the road. This was done promptly, or as Majr Gen Hooker says himself "splendidly." As the whole Corps was marching at once, there was a crowding of the marching troops in the Valley but no delay. So we marched on. After having marched a certain distance, the firing in front at Geary's becoming weaker. On a sudden the Brigade in front, II Brig, halted. I ordered my Adjt Gens forward, to ascertain the cause. Second Brig: had received orders to halt, "we have received no such Orders, was my answer, and I shall push on" so it was done, passing 2nd Brig:, I marched forward. Where is Cols Hecker? inquired a voice. Here! was my reply, and Major Howard of Majr Genl Howard's Staff, arrives with the following Order: Colonel, You march forward to the Crossroad, halt there, and form line of battle, front toward the hills (on our left). As the enemy had occupied the hills and fired at us, the reason of this order was clear to everybody's mind. The order was executed immediately, and Majr Howard left me with the words: Here is Genl Hooker himself. He adressed me: "What troops are these?" 3d Brigade 3d Div x1 Corps, Sir! and informed him of the Order brought by Major Howard. Where is Genl Schurz? was his question. In front, Sir! One of his aids has just been <hr /> carried along, wounded; then he asked me about the whereabouts, of our other troops, and as 2nd Brigade had formed in an open field, on my left I pointed it out to him, with the finger, showing him the ground where Colonel Kryzanowsky, the Commander, was. He ordered me then to instruct my men to be ready to change front to the right, toward Wauhatchie, if necessary, and he left me when a volley from the hills came on us, with the words, "You stay here, Colonel." All right Sir, was my reply. The fire at Geary had died away, and had ceased a little after Genl Hooker had left me and took position in front of 2nd Brigade 3rd Division. The Orders and instructions given by the Commander in Chief, himself, were clear and positive. The enemy had the hills to our left, there was danger, that the enemy would push between our troops and Brown's ferry, threatening the rear of Chattanooga; this is what Genl Hooker, States himself before the Court of inquiry. Major Genl Schurz marching forward with first brigade over Marshy and brushy terrain got entangled in a swamp and brushes, This caused a few minutes delay and then he received the Orders to take the hill near Lookout point Gap and hold that position. <hr /> Second and 3d Brigades were halted by Majr Genl Hooker's Orders, and under his own eyes. Quite a time had elapsed when Majr Genls Schurz who had taken and held the hill, came back to Genl Hooker, who adressed him quite angry: "Why did you not push through to Geary." Majr Genl Schurz answered that he was by his (Hooker's) own orders, ordered to take and hold the hill near the gap. Majr Gen Hooker seemed to ignore his own order, and on the question of Genl Schurz, "Can I have now my two Brigades, and an affirmative answer, with the words: now, push through to Geary; Gen Schurz took us forward. Arrived the hill just taken, where the firing continued, whilst it had long ceased in front, towards Wauhatchie. I was ordered to bring one regiment (75h Pa) into the gap, this was done immediately, and then received for the first time the orders to march through to Geary, at all hazards, and reinforced by the 141st NYk [illegible] was executed immediately, this without delay, and without meeting any obstacles, accompanied by Capt. Stinson of Majr Genl Howard's Staff, and in 15 minutes I had formed the junction with Genl Geary. During the whole night I had met no swamp, no obstacle. The fire at Geary's was over long ago. It ended as above stated a few minutes <hr /> after I had received Majr Genl Hooker's own instructions; and you may after this true statement of the events, proved by the witnesses, judge of my indignation, when reading the report. All my superior Officers, all my companions of arms must and will be witnesses and bear testimony, that in my whole military career, I never failed in doing my duty fully, to the best of my abilities, and no man stands high enough to attack my honor, recklessly or willfully. The soldiers of Illinois, stand high and esteemed for their courage and valor and devotion to their country and its liberties. An attack, an undeserved, unjust, untrue, false attack upon their honor and manliness is an insult to them and to the state they belong to. I apply to you, Sir, as the Chief Magistrate of Illinois, the Chief Commander of the Militia of our Noble State, to you the patriot and friend of the Illinois soldiers, for satisfaction against an abuse of power, toward inferior Officers unheard of, in the annuals of military history. Whilst on one hand it is prohibited by articles of war and General Orders, to defend yourself against official falsehoods in the press, and when doing so, you are exposed to be cashiered, the Superior Officer, has the power to insult <hr /> the entirely defenceless inferior and to deprive him of his most sacred good, his honor, publicly, a power surpassing oriental despotism. How is it possible to serve with joyful heart and mind, when even in the raging of the battle, you know that your reputation and moral existence is at stake & at the mercy of superiors & you have not always witnesses at hand to set all your actions in such a broad daylight as to stand the most minutious scrutiny. I adress myself to you, who has shown me always so much kindness, given so much evidence of friendly feelings, and request you to examine the proceedings of the Court of Inquiry held Jany 29th to febry 15th 1864, and to procure me satisfaction against such an insult. I have the honor to sign, most respectfully Your Obedt. Servant. Fr Hecker Col Comd'g Brig: <hr /> Hecker. Col. Whiteside. Tenn. Feb 17. 1864. Complains of the unjust Strictures continued in the official report of Majr Genl Hooker, concerning the Night attack on Wauhatchie Oct 28/29 1863. and appeals to Gov for redress --- Describes the engagemt on that occasion -- (R) I desire Col Hirshback & Loomis to read carefully & see what is best to be done.

Washington. D.C. April 16th/65 My dear Mother Beck has not come from the Office yet and I have not received your letter but as I have a good deal to write I will begin now - I suppose by tomorrow the mail will go out from Washin No train left yesterday - What I have to write is with reference to the great Tragedy which has caused a nation to mourn - I had the misfortune to be at Ford's Theatre on Friday evening & to hear the shot which deprived us of a President. It was given out during the day that Mrs Lincoln had engaged a "Box" for the President & Genl Grant and having a desire not only to see them but to see the "American Cousin" performed, <hr /> we determined to go - Before we went Beck knew that the Genl would not be there as he was to leave for his home in the evening - We went a few moments before the time & waited some time for the President to arrive & as he did not come until late the performances commenced & we thought we were to be disappointed in not seeing him - In the midst of the 2nd scene there was a great applause & cheering and our attention was directed from the stage to the Dress Circle - close to the wall walked Miss Harris -Mrs Lincoln - Major Rathburn - a gentleman the President & another gentleman behind him These two gentlemen were watchmen in citizens dress who have always accompanied the President since the war commenced We followed him with our eyes until he entered the Box little <hr /> thinking we were looking for the last time at him. He sat looking on the stage his back to us and out of our sight behind the flags except occasionally when he would lean forward - Mrs Lincoln was in front of him and we only saw her occasionally. We saw her smile & turn towards him several times - It was while every one's attention was fastened upon the stage that a pistol shot was heard causing every one to jump (as an unexpected shot will) & look up at the President's Box merely because that was the direction of the sound and supposing it to be part of the performance we all looked again on the stage when a man suddenly vaulted over the railing of the box - turned back & then leaped to the stage - striking on his heels & falling backward <hr /> but recovered himself in an instant and started across the stage to behind the scenes flourishing a knife - the blade of which appeared in the reflection of the bright lights to be half as long as a man's arm - and making use of the expressions you have seen in the Papers - He had nearly disappeared before we could understand what it was or what had happened - We first thought it was a crazy man - when he jumped on to the stage we all jumped to our feet & stood spell bound - as he crossed the stage some few started toward the stage crying - our President! our President is shot! catch him - hang him! Miss Harris was seen to lean over the railing for water & that was all that broke the stillness in that box - If those watch had called out as soon <hr /> as the man jumped to give us an idea of what had happened he could have been caught as he stopped to recover himself after the fall - There was not a soul to be seen in the Box and perfect stillness there which all added to our bewilderment- one man got up on a chair on hearing that the man was caught & said "take out the ladies & hang him here on the spot" Beck fearing a mob hurried me out - leaving the audience still standing awed & speechless. We waited outside until a young man came out & said "He is dead - no doubt about it!" Before we got out of the door some one said "It was J. Wilkes Booth" and before I got out, the idea that our Chief was gone - almost our sole dependence - overcame me & I could not control myself & sobbed aloud <hr /> We met several outside the door first coming in asking "For God's sake tell me is it true? as if they had heard already rumors of the great tragedy - The reason that we could not suddenly realize what has occurred was because we could not anticipate that an assassin could be in the Box with the President - His only danger seemed to be from a shot fired by one of the audience Booth entered the front door and asked some one there if Genl Grant was there that night - Then went along to the door of the Box - just where we had seen the President enter - knocked at the door & to the watch who opened it, said he wished to speak to the President, that he had a communication for him showing an Official envelope & giving him a card with the name of a Senator written on it - The <hr /> watch stepped aside & the assassin entered & fired immediately while Mr Lincoln was looking at the stage The excitement that night was intense & a mob of about 2000 went to the Old Capitol Prison to burn it & they called upon the people to come out & see the rebels burn - The Police & troops were out & put a stop to it or it would have been done - The assassin at Sewards first stabbed the nurse through the lungs & killed him I believe - knocked in the skull of Fred Seward with a butt of a pistol & stabbed another son - all had opposed his entrance and the old man hearing the scuffle at the door & thinking it was some one after him. rolled out of bed on to the floor and the assassin had to lean over the bed to stab him so he only <hr /> had two cuts - on his neck & face - which will not prove serious if he has strength after his former sickness - There is no doubt that it was Booth who killed the President - Laura Keene says she can testify that it was him The secessionists here have all draped their houses in crape - and acknowledged that it was the worst thing for the South that ever happened - their best friend is gone & Andy J - will be more severe than ever Lincoln was - Andy Johnson joined the Temperance Society after the Inaugaration and every one who saw him at his own Inaugaration were much pleased with his manner as he seemed impressed with the responsibility before him - There are rumored changes to be made in the Cabinet already <hr /> 9. There was a strange coincidence at the Theatre Friday evening - In the play the American Cousin won the prize at Archery and on receiving the medal was congratulated - He said he "had'nt done nothing - all it required was a steady hand a clear eye to pull the trigger & the mark was hit" as he said it he looked right up at the President That was in the play & he looked there merely because he was the principal person present but afterwards it struck everyone as a strange coincidence On Friday Beck received a letter from Duane who is a prisoner at Point Lookout begging him to forget the Past & to find out for him if he would be allowed to take the oath of allegiance to the U.S. that he <hr /> was sick enough of the Confederacy and very sorry he had ever had any thing to do with it - That afternoon Beck went to the Comd Genl of prisoners but he was out and of course after the awful tragedy Beck did not feel like interceeding for a rebel I do not know what he will do now - he may go to Genl Grant if Hoffman won't do anything - Don't say anything about it - I suppose you have read all I have told you, in the Papers but being there myself I supposed you would like to hear it over just as I saw it - The authorities think that there is no chance for the assassin to escape but I think it is like hunting for a needle in a haystack - Your letter did not come today and when <hr /> ever it does not come by Sunday it is because you have left it to tell the latest news of adile and when you wrote last she was a little troubled with her throat - I had a letter from Maggie today I will send this letter today before getting your's - If you send me word how much cloth it takes for adile's sacque I can buy it here & make it if I had the pattern - I have forgotten how wide the material was that Mrs Foster bought - but if I know the length of her sacque & the width of the half at the bottom I can tell how much it would take when I see Mrs Foster about the width of the material - We are well & send love - with kisses to adile - Your aff Daughter Helen DuB.
