 In the ladies' department of the Street Fair is a very interesting old letter, the property of Dr. w. s. Wyman of the State University. The exhibit Is a letter from the Appalachee Indians to Don Carlos H., King of Spain, and was written on Janu- ary 21, 1888. The letter Is an appeal to the Spanish King to release these Indians from the slavery into which they had been thrown on account of their revolt against the officers of Spain in this country at that time. Dr. Wyman is probably the only man in Alabama who can translate this letter.
