CIVIL WAR HERO'S LETTER
REFERS TO LINCOLN'S DEATH

! End-of-ihe-war letters from boys in
France have filled the papers recently.
IL is interesting 10 compare them with
a letter written by a boy at the end OF
the Civil War, William Talley, who was
In the Delaware artillery. The letter
was written at a time when LincOln's
assassination had shocked the world,
and shows a bitterness between North
and South that the European war has
now about wiped out. The remarks
that the rebels are played out, sounds
like the letters last October saying the
Huns were at the end Of their rope.
Robert Talley, OF Brandywine Sum
nit, has the letter in his possession. Il
was written by his brother. Robert
Talley is himself a Civil War veteran.
The letter follows:
