DEATH OF GEORGE b. LINCOLN.

Our many readers who have been
interested in the series of letters on
Abraham Lincoln, two of which
have been published in the Caledo-
nian, will be panied to learn of the
death of the writer, Geo B. Lincoln,
at Tenaf1y, N. J., on Thursday last in
his 18th year. Had he lived a most
valuable contribution to the litera-
ture of the Lincoln administration
would have been given to the public.
The writer of these letters did much
to bring about Abraham Lincoln s
nomination for presidency and was
postmaster of Brooklyn through
the presidents administration. He
had become deeply interested in the
preparation of these letters and it is
to be regretted that his life was not
spared to complete them
