Sherman " Fowler, who ,6 . said he found them recently in a secret-. nanpl of an old rosewood book case, which came to him as ^ an heirloom from his grandfather, ^ Benjamin B. Sherman, a founder of the Union League club. , The letters, Fowler said, were written to his grandfather, who was r president of the Central Union 1. Trust company, and at the time was f in charge of a "dollar fund" which - collected $10,747 for Lincoln's n widow. l" The first letter, dated the day after Christmas, 1865 and signed Mary Lincoln, said in part: "We are homeless, and in return e for the sacrifices my great and e noble husband made iboth in his life e and in his death, the paltry first years salary is offered to us, under 1 the circumstances. "Such injustice has been done us as calls the Mush of any true, loyal heart. The sum is in reality only $20,000 as the first month's salary was paid my husfoand, and I pre^ sume the tax on it will be deducts ed from it. The interest on it will ] be about $1,500. I am humiliated , when I think that we are destined ' < - i i i i T 1 , i to oe iorever numeicsa. ? tan iyhk >, 1 no more. 0 The second letter dated January ( 1 13, 18-66, is longer and tells of re!. ceiving from congress the salary t due Mr. Lincoln. In it Mrs. Linj ooln also discusses a (bill which a Mr. Moses held against her. The 1 amount was not stated. 0 Mr. Fowler said he expected to ! e j turn the letters over to the New 1 * York Historical Society, of which i! * he is a member, with a cash book i ' of the dolalr fund, also found in the 1 book case compartment. s NEWS OF THE ROSCOE'S , 1 j June Roscoe, the musical prodigy ( 7 of Anderson college, who is well ,, . known in Abbeville, appeared be- ( 1 fore the Junior Music Cluib of Ati lanta recently and was given a cor. dial reception by the music lovers ? of that city.
