Historic Table.

Most important among this collection
of war relics is a little oval table Of
wood, much battered and Scared. on
which General Grant wrote the letter
containing the terms of surrender of
General Lee at the home of Wilmer
Mclean, near Appomattox Court House,
Va. Immediately after this event the
table was purchased by General Sheri-
dan and given to General Custer as a
present for his wife. General Sheri-
dams letter of presentation, dated
April 10, 1865, the day following the
which is included in the col
lection, corroborates this statement
The collection also includes a pin
made from a piece of conch shell, once
a button from the coat Of General
Washington, presented by a relative
Of the general to Custer Later Custer
had it mounted in gold for his wife,
who wore it for many years as a
brooch.

White Towel That Was UtiI-
lied as Flag of Truce at
Appomattox.

General Longstreet in command, Gen.
eral Gordon's division became hard
pressed by the enemy and called on
LOngstreet for assistance. Not being
able to furnish it at the time, Long
street sent his inspector general, Major
r. NJ. Simms, to suggest TO Gordon the
sending of a flag of truce to the Fed
erals requesting a suspension of hos
tllities pending the interview between
Lee and Grant.
Used Towel as Flag.
Following this suggestion, Gordon at
once dispatched Simms to the Federal
commander, Sheridan, with this re-
quest AS Major Simms galloped to-
ward the lines of the Federals he
searched his haversack for something
white to cover his advance, but found
only a towel. This hes drew out and
waved above his head as he approach
ed the enemy. The Union soldiers
caught sight of the white towel. held
their fire, and under this improVised
flag Simms was allowed to enter the
lines, where he was met by Colonel
Whitaker and taken to General Gus
ter, who was in command of that part
of the field. Neither of these officers,
however, cared to declare a temporary
cessation of hostilities just then, feel
ing that they had the advantage of the
fight and held the southern army at
their mercy.
So Simms was obliged to return to
his own lines without accomplishing
his purpose. He left the truce towel
in the hands of Colonel Whitaker,
who took half of it and gave the other
portion to General Custer 1t was only
shortly after the incident just men
toned that Sheridan and Gordon met
and established a temporary truce
which held until the conference be-
tween Grant and Lee terminated the
war.
