ORIGINAL DRAFT
OF LEES FARE WELL.
Doubt Expressed as to Genuine
ness of Document Recently
Sold in Philadelphia.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.]
l-ynchburg. Va. June S.-While II is
reported that the original draft OF Cen
eral Robert T.. Lees farewell address
to his army was sold recently in Phil
adelphia for S425. some doubt is ex-
pressed here as to the commences Of
the paper. and 1t Is doubtful IL that
document is in existence.
X. Layman Carroll, who owns very
valuable collection of curios, has In his
collection a copy of the draft OF Cen
eral Lees farewell. which is wholly
in the handwriting of the former com
mander. though this differs slightly in
verbage from n photograph OF the let
ter said to have been the original.
There can be little, II any. doubt
that General Lee actually wrote this
copy OF his now famous address. The
copy was made on paper which was
brought South by the Federal army
and II Is written wholly with lead
pencil and has General Lees signature
to it. This paper was given at Apo
mattox By General Lee TO the late DIR.
Gray Latham. who commanded La
tham's battery during the war. and
who Tor many years was a prominent
physician In Lynchburg. Before his
death DR.. Latham presented this copy
to John w. Carroll, who afterwards
gave II TO his son. who since has had
1t in his possession
In past years Mr.. Carroll exhibited
this draft to men who knew General
Lee personally, and without exception
they pronounced the writing to be Cen
eral Lees. Among these were: Sem
ator John w. Daniel. General j. A
Early and Major Maurice Langhorn,
all or whom are now dead.
