 Lawyer D. c. Kilbourne, of Litchield, ,saw the article and wrote to the publishers of the Century that he knew where the originai was. Dr. J. K. Wallace of Bantam, near Litchfeld, married 8 Danbury woman who was the cousin of the wife of Gen. Rawlins, Grants chief-of-staff and Secretary of War. When Gen. Rawlins died of consumption in July, 1879, he was attended by Dr. Wallace, and, the doctor says, gave him the letter in November, 1878, with the remark that it would sometime be valuable.

Webster now offered him $200 for it, which was refused. MT.
