Some Pointed as Well

on Current Events :: ::

Then that glorious woman, Mrs.
General Pickett, has some interesting
"reminiscences of early events cluster
ing around My Soldier'-General
Pickett. If l were the South, as
am now a small pebble in it, before
/ built any more monuments or
stained any more windows for the
dead, Id give a pension to the living.
Mrs. Pickett is heroine, no Drawer
ever faced this southern sun, and she
is almost the last link between the
Now and the Yesterday of sad and
sacred memory. Loyal to the South,
loving to the north, gifted in speech
and with pen, as are but few, fitted
by inheritance, environment, early
training and such to do great good for
humanity yet she must grind out her
days in a government clerkship, even
though she must be taken to the office
morning and evening because of in
juries received through a street car
accident a few years ago. Let the
chivalry of the South rally around
this beautiful and gifted woman, the
one time baby bride of the gallant
Pickett (She will scold me round
ly In her next letter, but what s
written is written.)
