John Madden, Towanda, who
was member of the Third Pennsyl-
vania Heavy Artillery during the
Civil war, has just received a letter
which he wrote to his wife while
stationed at Fort Monroe forty-sev-
en- years ago. Where the letter has
been all these years he does not
know. 1t arrived in different en-
velope from that in which it was
sent and it was postmarked Towan-
da.

motive is for returning it at this late
day he does not know. In the letter
he urgently requests his wife to get
him pair of pants.
