Colorado, Col, Nov. 11.-Mrs. J. A.
Hayes, daughter Of the late Jefferson
Davis. said today:
II do not know anything about the
contents of these letters nor do /
know whether Gems Grant and
Thomas nor Admiral Farragut evel
applied to my father for commissions:
I never heard my parents make any
mention Of their having done so.
. "Not knowing anything definite
about these letters do not feel COM
petent to say when they shall be open
ed. I am going to New Orleans In
February and shall take counsel with
my friends and relatives before de-
Gliding upon any course. Since neither
my father nor my mother made these
letters public, 1t Is but natural that I
should feel some diffdence about
opening them or departing from the
course my parents though fit to pur-
sue."
