9ohn Hancock's Tcll-Taic Letter Book
1t Has Just been Found.
BosToy, Feb. IA startling histor-
ical discovery has just been made here
which indicates that John Hancock,
the famous statesman and patriot,
wns not only an embczzler, but u bit
ter enemy Of George Washington.
Hancock, who served his country rs
tho president OF tho Provincial Con-
gress in I774.75, and again in 1775.77.
and also was tho first signer Of the
Declaration of Independence, left n
tell-talc letter book. This has Just
been brought to light In Quincy, his
birthplace, where IL has lain unno,iced
and undisturbcd since the death OF its
owner, In October. 1893.
According to letters written by
Hancock, he had an incessant yearn.
Ing for power, n typical instance Of
which was his desire to be command
er-in.chief of the Continental army.
II Is probable that he never forgaye
Washington for his success In obtain.
Ing command OF tho country's first
military organization. Hancock, it
would SEEM. really believed that the
glory which befell Washington should
have boon his, and, further. that the
great general robbed him OF what he
considered his just due.
The we'll known scrupulous exacti-
tude which Washington exhibited in
financial matters was in marked con-
trast to the methods OF Hancock. His
career rs treasurer of Harvard college
IL sae instance of these methods which
Is most readily accessible. and one
upon which it was hoped that his let
ter book would cast some condoninp
light, II this, indeed, DO possible in
the face Of the macy records and let.
ters still eYtant
In 1873 tho college corporation
elected Hancock treasurer. He quail
fed and, rs such, received the college
funds. but when the time arrived Inc
gave no account OF his trust. When
he continued in default q meeting be-
tween him and the corporation was
appointed for March 81, 1878, but on
that day, instead of Hancock and his
accounts, anne q letter pleading for
fsIay.
