was a confederate brigadier, recites the
history of prayer book in his possession
which belonged to the immortal Robt E
Lee. The book entitled Book Of Common
Prayer" was given to the Judge by Mrs.
Catherine Green, now Mrs. Henderson
who informed him that her husband, Mai
Green, was for a time during the war be-
tween the states in command OF Arlington
Heights, the home of Gen. Lee. 1t seems
that Mai. Green was 30 kind to the old SER
wants who remained on or about the place
that an old female servant brought him the
prayer book, saying that she wished him
to have it, also telling him that when Gen.
Lees library was taken she had saved this |
prayer book, and that it was used by him |
The last time he held family worship at
Arlington. On the margin of the hy-leal
is inscribed in pencil the name, "R. E Lee"
which one familiar with the hero's auto |
graph would readily pronounce genuine. |
The Judge says that he would be very
happy to have ii for his own, but will send
it to Gen Gusts Lee, at Lexinton, Va and |
would have done 80 sooner but tor pres |
sure OF judicial business and the need of
Gen. Lees address.
