The following is a clipping
from the Richmond Daily (Cal.)
Leader and will be of interest
toesome of our readers.
Robert S. Friend is rejoicing
today that he has been enabled
to secure an autograph from
the pen of Admiral Evens.
Master Friend, a few days
since, sent the Admiral a yard
of ribbon in the national colors
and asked the Admiral to place
his signature on the same, and
return it to him as a memento
of the occasion of the visit of
the Atlantic squadron to the
Pacific coast.
The Admiral very promptly
responded with the autograph,
which was accompanied by a
letter from the wife of the
commander of the fleet, as fol-
lows:
Paso Robles, April %, 1908.
My Dear Friend: Admiral
Evans, my husband, desires me
to return to you your ribbon
with his autograph, and to
thank you for your kind words.
Like yourself, we are all very
proud of Iowa, as my husband
commanded the battleship of
THAT name under Admiral
Sampson in the Spanish-Ameri
can war, and the State of Iowa
afterward presented a beaLti-
full sword to him in recognition
of his services. So we always
feel a warm interest in the
Hawkeyes.
With regards from the Ad-
miral and myself, | am,
Very sincerely,
Charlotte Taylor Evans.
