Israel Putnam was blowing in a stony
field on his farm in Pomfret. The pillow
vanished from the unfinished furrow

"Old Put" took up arms for his country.
1t was rescued from a Windham
county barn loft shor: time ago and
bought for song by E. A. Brooks, an
enthusiastic relic hunter of Hartford,

Mtion among his collection of curiosi-

tough looking relic, but it is intact in
all It's parts. 1t is interesting and val

that it is a capital type of the pillow used
in New England during the colonial
period.
Mr.. Brooks has also secured q

RELIC or GEORGE WASHINGTON.
stinging Letter from the Commander q
Army Resignations.

bttnginS Letter from the Commander o.
Army Resignations.
Mrs. John S. Brown. the wife o. Vice
President Brown, of the First national
bank of Charlottesville, has a relic
which is not for sale, being nothing
less than an autograph letter of Gen.
George Washington. The letter, says
the indianapolis News, was found
many years ago among the papers of
Maj. Beall, of Virginia, the great
grandfather of Mrs. Brown, and it has
been treasured as precious heirloom
ever since. Maj. Beall was IN the con.
tinental army, and the letter was
written to him upon his resignation
from the service, after the terrible win
ter at Valley Forge. The letter is still
in good condition, having carefully
been framed, and is one of the few au-
tograph letters of Washington extant.
1t has the characteristic signature,
Astounding in fourishes, but the bal
auce of the letter is written in a com.
paratively plain hand. The letter reads
as follows:
Headquarters, 31st March, ITS
Sir: l have received your letter Of
this date inclosing your commission.
The frequency of resignation through
out the army is truly alarming. In
the Virginia line this spirit unhappily
seems to rage like an epidenicel dis
ease. / am at loss to account how
gentlemen can reconcile such an aban-
donment Of the public interest at this
crisis of our affairs, either with the
principles of honor or duty to them
selves and their country. II, however,
you think yourself warranted and are
determined to quit the army l must at
least insist upon your retaining your
commission till the arrival of more Of
fcers IN camp. l am, sir, your most
obi. Servt-, u. Washington
The straightforward letter of tho
great commander SO affected Maj.
Bean that he continued in the service,
and was instrupental in bringing
about the recall OF number Of other
designations.
