WASHINGTON
ANDERSON TO MRS. JENKs.
Washington, July 1.-Among the cores
pondence made public in the Potter commit
tee, is letter from Anderson to Mrs. jerks
in Washington, dated Philadelphia, March
25, 1878, written in vein of badinage ac-
cusing Mrs. jerks of losing temper, and ad-
vising her to not spoil her complexion by so
doing. He insinuated that Sherman fooled
her badly regarding that letter, promising
to pay her, and then tslling her to whistle
for her dingbats. The letter continues:
Nov, l can imagine the mysterious wo-
man of Louisiana chuck full of damnine
proofs of consp!racies, ETC., who travelled
hundreds of miles for the purpose of
strengthening things generally, whistling for
dingbits Jewe!likens. 1 don't wonder
you got mad. Sherman is sly
old coon, who knows the soft side
of the gentler sex, and with visions
of sinecures, etc, in prospective. I am not
surprised at the old sinners success, and 30
you are coming up fortified. You have no
idea how many hopes survived when l
learned your decision to come by all means.
