The private asked that the card

President.
Gen. Lee was a fine man and q
great leader, she said. He was q
man Of his times, just as President
Roosevelt is man Of his.
As young woman at her fathers
home near Antioch Church, Va,
Miss Triplett nursed Gen. Lees
wounded soldiers. Her fathers store
had been turned into q hospital and
the wounded Confederates were
brought there for medical attention.
News Was Scarce.
''Now," she said, "the radio brings
the war to our homes. In the old
days the only news we got was
from stragglers and the wounded.
We went for days without knowing
what was happening"

she cannot move about a
