One story is to the effect that
with the death of this daughter
the entire family which had for
SO many centuries disobeyed the
Injunction of the letter, and
with such dire results, was ex-
tinguished. At any rate-and
this is Mrs. Workman s under
standing-the daughter on her
deathbed called in a neighbor
woman by the name of Thomp-
son and turned the letter over to
her, relating its history as it had
come down through Il thousand
years or more.
Impressed by the story she
had heard from the lips of the
dying girl and by the text of the
letter, the Thompson woman i'm
mediately began an attempt to
have it published, and it appear
ed III the Rome (Ga.) Tribune,
October 81, 1891. From there it
was reprinted in the Dalton
| (Ga.) Citizen, and Mrs. Wort
man, now living at Marion, Ind,
clipped it and retained it in her
possession many years.
Recently Mrs. Workman had
it republished in a Marion paper,
stating at the time that during
the time she had retained the
letter in her possession without
having it published or attempting
to, she has had a species of bad
luck which she attributes to her
failure to secure publicity for
the letter.

ers, what purports to be u let

revival of a-weIl, lad p OF 10
years ago. IN this letter was an
injunction that it should be
published % to the world by
whoever found it, together with
the statement that misfortune
and bad luck would follow the
person having possession Of 1t III
event that it was not given pub
icity.
There is likewise a promise
that whoever may have a copy
OF this letter III his or her pos
session will prosper and be fol-
lowed by good fortune. The
promise and the prediction seem
to have had such an effect Oh
SO many persons that the spread
of this letter bids fair to equal
that of the famous chain

country and England d few
years ago.
According to the story, or
legend, the original letter was
found sometime III the early
days of Christianity by child.
Here is the letter, or command,
as it appears in the publica-
tioins:

sins may be forgiven you.
You will not break my com
mandments, but observe and

mouth. You shall not only go to

commandments.

From the hands of the child
who found it the letter is said
to have passed into the posses
sion of a convert to the Chris
tiau faith. For some reason
possibly because of the persecu-
tions to which Christians were
frequently subjected or from
fear of ridicule-this convert
failed to have the letter publish
ed.
lie kept it, however, as sac
red memento of Christ and a
such passed it on to his eldest
son, who likewise transmitted it.
and thus it came down through
many generations, but never
was published, the tradition be
ing that when it finally was Civ
