specimens Of the handwriting of p S.
Ncy, in order to compare them with the
above letter, and if they proved to have
been written by the same hand, in this
way to establish the identity of Michael
Rudolph and Peter Stuart Ney, which,
could it be done, would go far to prove
the identity of each of them with Mi
chael Ney, the Marshal of France. To
this end he wrote to Mrs. Mary Dalton

Enclosed please find some specimens of
the writing of the mysterious man that
was with us some twenty-five years, or
in the bounds of Niece county, except
two years, when be was in Mechlenbnrg
county, Virginia, ! have a record to
show those years he was absept--1s27-
%. In 1896 he taught school few hun
dred yards from my dwelling where |
now am; in 1881 and 1893. He was
then 60 years old. Was over 60 when
he used glasses first; said he never dis
covered his sight failing until he was &C
years old. His first glasses are now in
my family. My mother and him ex-
changed, as both were better suited.
In my old atlas to Cummings geogra-
ply he pointed ont the place he was
born. My recollection is it did not be.
long to France when he was born. His
own words are that he was not native
born Frcnchman. Laurif, was little

took it afterwards, probably in Bona.

not make much impression on my mind

child. | read years ago that Michael
Rudolph and Michael Ney were proba.
bly, the same. | have heard
him say he put the Stuart to his name
to keep his mothers name; and he could
not give up Ney. / never heard him
speak on the subject except when he
was excited with ardent spirits. No
one ever dared to approach him, or to
refer to what he told them at such times,
when he was sober. My father tried
him sufficiently and was great sympa-
thizer with him. When Louis Philippe
was put upon the throne of France, my
father spent many nights in his room to
keep him from taking his own life. Mr..
Woodson, correspondent Of the Herald,
has it that it was when young Napoleon
died. making q mistake of the two
events. He was not at my fathers
when Napoleon died, but was in Rowan,
now Davie county. Mr.. Woodson only
made o mistake in the events, as he
(Mr Ney) acted about the same I'm both
events.
Enclosed | send specimens of p. S.
Ney's writing. l have now none of his
writing except my album and some old
copy books. arithmetics, &c. If you
wish letter you can get one from Mr..
Chalmers McNeely Of Salisbury, N. c.
