A CORRECTION.
The Daughter of Belle Boyd Not Known ! Professionally as Belle Hamond"-- Widow and Not Married to Taylor.
Nashville, Tenn, July 3, 1S9'

Nashville, Tenn, July 3, 1897. To the State Herald.
 e Dear Sir-I inclose a clipping from your paper of June 30, containing state ments which I wish you to deny. There is not the slightest foundation for some of the statements contained in your ar ticse. My name is Mrs. J. F. Williams fneea Birdie Hammond), known profes- sionally as Boyd Swainston. I am a daughter of Belle Boyd, the Rebel Spy," who is not known professionally as Belle Hammond" but in private life is Mrs. Nat R. High. I am widow; I am not married to Wilfred B. Taylor, nor is there the slightest prospect that I shall be. l can only guess from whom you received your information, as I cannot imagine anyone possessed of sufficient presumption to start such a report unless 'the wish were father to the thought. !" By emphatica1ly contra dieting the former article, or by publishing this letter you will not be ''too late to right the wrong D as there are several misstatements con- tained in your report, and I think your paper too honorable to tamper with a woman's good name without reasonable foundation. I have just finished an en- gagement h Nashville, but not at the Grand, as the manager of that house can inform you. Whoever your inform ant was, he should be cautioned against carelessly giving reports which he could not Substantiate. A prompt attention to this matter will greatly oblige.
 Yours respectfully,
 MRS. J. F. WILLIAMS.
