1d.s5 DAVID DAVIS, Administrators, &C."
The following is transcript of the oath
filed by Judge Davis, on taking out letters
of administration:
STATE OF ILLINOIS, SANGAsdoN Co.
"David Davis, being duly sworn, deposes
and says that Abraham Lincoln, late of the
nat fr. nf Co nd fa 0f T1Ispaic
is dead, and that he died on or about the
14th day of April, A. D. 1866, intestate, as
it is said, and that his estate will probably
amount to the SUM of $50 600; that said
Abraham Lincoln left at thetime of his
decease, Mary Lincoln his widow, and
Robert T. Lincoln and Thomas Lincoln,
his children. t'oA
Subscribed and sworn to before me this
18th day of June, A. d. 1855.

The above figures, says the Journal,
speak for themselves. To be added to
tbem,. however, is the $25,000, which was
appropriated by the last Congress on ac-
count of Mr.. Lincoln's salary, making al
together the total value Of the personal es-
tate to be about one hundred and ten thou
sand dollars, to say nothing of the real es-
tate described IN the schedule above. So
that the statement made in the World that
Mr.. Lincoln saved nothing, and left noth-
ing from his salary, and that Mrs. Lincoln
has no resources but what remain from the
appropriation OF Congress, So, 900, and the
rents of the homestead, returning altogeth-
er but $1,70Osper year, can not possibly be
true.
That Mr.. Lincoln did not leave his fami-
ly wealthy is very evident, but-no one, in
view of the above inventory, will say that
they are in the deplorable' condition of
''want' and .sdestitution," in regard to
which the public has, with so much aston
ishment, just been informed. e va HN-1u.
We say this much, not for the purpose of
preventing personal contributions from
being made to Mrs. Lincoln, if she desires
them, much less to deter Congress from
making a further appropriation for her
support, which we should be glad to have
it do but simply in order that the people
of the nation may not suppose that Mrs.
Lincoln is in anything like destitute cir
cumstances. Her income may not be suf-
ficient to meet all her wants and neeessi-
ties, but it is certainly. large enough to
maintain her at least as comfortably as
she lived before going to Washington.
