If she had been consulted by, those . lu whose hands It waa placed, the lette would never have been made public. for only last spring. after discussing the fact of Its existence, my mother decided to recall It, and I hoped un til I heard or its being read, that it bad been desired. - "Whatever my mother may have been goaded to write at the time this letter was sent to Julia .Klmhrough. she felt safe in tha love, respect and consideration of Bar own people, and among whom she would gladly have lived and died, if her health bad per mitted; but unfortunately she could not bear the excessive beat of tho South and wai very prone to malaria. Then again, after my fathers death. she was afraid to live In the country with my sister, there being no other member of our family who could stay with them." Here Mrs. Hayes added that at her mother's income was not large, and the sister mentioned had literary anv blttons, Mrs. Davla could live in New York more reasonably than elsewhere. She, says that Mrs. Davia also mad a handsome salary from New York newspaper-writing. I do not offer an apology ror any action of my mother." tha letter says. "but I must feel that If anything she wrote gave offense to the people of the South, particularly Mississippi, it was misunderstood, and far from be ing Intentionally hurtful. My mo n er decided that Richmond, as the teat of the government during the Con federacy, was the proper pina ior rav ratner ana nis aescenaanis io rest.
