From the Philadelphia Ledger
The late Governor Parsons. Of Ala

ers who espcused the union cause dur
ing the civil war.
At the time of the trouble he was a
member Of the Alabama legislature
and, TO the indignation of his southern
friends who had elected him to office
he voted against secession
soon afterward he wrote his wife
that, as his supply Of shirts was ex-
hausted. he desired her to send him
more as soon as possible. Mrs. Par
son. a jealous southerner answered in
a note remarkable for its brevity and
point. Without prelude or formality
she wrote.
