in full on a sheet Of legal foolscap
paper. He obtained this paper from
Judge Wills, whose law ONCE was
under the same roof as bis home
early in the morning Of the day the
address was delivered.
Miss Wills bases this statement
and other Lincoln memorabilia from
accounts of this memorable visit
and the occasion which 1t signalized
told by Judge Wills to her father,
the Rev. David Wills. To her in
innate friend and cousin, Miss Ruth
Wills, the maiden sister of Judge
Wills who made her home with him
and his family, she is also indebted
for these treasured Lincoln tradi-
tions.
Lincoln Forgot His Boots.
One of the anecdotes has to do
with President Lincoln's sudden de-
termination to pay his Secretary of
State, Mr.. Seward, an unscheduled
visit just about the time the Wills
family thought their distinguished
guest might be about ready to retire
for the night. Mr.. Seward was stay
ing with Judge Wills neighbor,
Judge Mcpherson. in Gettysburg.
AS the President was leaving,
Judge Wills demonstrated, "Mr.
President, our mountain nights are
chilly and you are in your stocking
feet"
why, so I am," President Lincoln
is said to have replied. II must go
back and get my boots"
Then there is the account of the
Presidents starting on horseback
about 10 o'clock the next morning
for the ceremonies and Of his stop
ping by the little Presbyterian
Church where Judge Wills was an
elder to kneel in prayer in the Wills
pew with him.
There is also the story of the
Wills 9-year-old cousin, Henry
Brinkerhoff, who ran all the way to
the cemetery behind the Presidents
horse as his boyish way OF showing
his hero worship. His son, Henry
Brinkerhoff, now lives at 14O1 I
street NV, and is employed on a
local paper.

"They have stolen my thunder sew

coins very human comment con-
cerning the addresses of Edward
Everett, the chief speaker Of the oc-
casion, and Of the other speakers
who preceded him upon this sig
nificant autumn day, according to
Miss Wills.
Vivid, too, are Miss Wills child
hood memories of one Of the leaders
OF the Lost Cause" Alexander
Stephens, vice president OF the Con-
federacy. He headed the famous
but fruitless Hampton Roads Con-
ference held February 8, 1865, when
President sLincoln met Stephens
