At a called meeting of the Robt.
A. Waller Chapter, U. D. c., Monday
Jan. 9Th, the following extract from
Susan B. Anthony's History Of Wo-
mans Suffrage was read by the presi-
dent, Mrs. A. ]. Sproles in which a
most false and unwarranted attack
was made on the character of our
beloved hero, Robt. E. Lee, and the
sanctity of his home cruelty invaded.
1t is here quoted:
The History.
Vol. II, page %: "Many women
showed their love of country by sac
rifces still greater than enlistment
in the Army. Among these, especi-
civ notable for her surroundings and
family was Annie Carter Lee, daugh-
ter of Gen. Robt. E. Lee, comman-
der-in-chief of the rebel army. Her
father and three brothers fought
against the union which she loved,
and to whom she adhered. A young
girl scarcely beyond her teens when
the war broke out, she remained firm
in her devotion to the national cause,
though for this adherence she was
banished by her father as an out
cast from that elegant home once
graced by her presence. She did
not live to the triumph of the
cause she loved so we'll, dying the
third year of the war, aged %, at
7ohn Springs, N. c., homeless, be-
cause of her love for the Union, with
no relatives near her, dependent for
care and consolation in her last
hours upon the kindly services of an
old colored woman. In her veins ran
the blood of Light Horse Harry"
and that of her great aunt, Hannah
Lee Corbin, who at the time of the
Revolution protested against the de-
nial of representation to taxpaying
women, and whose name does much
to redeem that of Lee from the in
fanny of late so justly adhering to
it." -.
After the reading of the above the
Robt. IA. Waller Chapter u. D. c.,
went on record as branding Susan b.
Anthony's statement in history of
woman suffrage, contained in vol. II

relatives in Virginia and Mildred, the
youngest, was little school girl in
Winchester, until driven away by the
tide of war, when she was sent down
to st. Mary's' in Raleigh. My dear

During our war large families

living in a remote section, as she
thought, and where I could have
quiet and pure air for better recov-
