I Her paper has many . statements , with which .1 . do not agree. L It contains not a. few crudities of thought I and expression.

In the Richmond Times-Dispatch, of January 28, you luote the following ; sentence rrom Miss Boyson's paper: i "He (General Lee) was a! traitor in that he sacri ficed " all to aid tho j enemies of his tuumry. uy tnus; cutting a sen tence in two and suppressing the lat ter half you have put Miss Boyson and the committee of award In an unfavorable; and t wholly unjust po sition. The complete sentence Is as follows: "H was a traitor In that he sacrificed all. to aid the enemies of his country, but jo were George Wash ington and Jolin Ifampden and Wil liam or Orange." i ' -i - Comment is 'unnecessary. The basic thougat of her essay is in these words: ?The matter of secession had been purposely left open by the framers of the Constitution, and In the minds of many sincere people . both North and: South it "was still a ques tion. The real Issue was not between patriotism and the want of It, but "be tween two forms of it and the point to be borne in mind is that those who believed in one conception wer -a' loyal as "those who clung to another." On this broad foundation, which is neither Northern nor Southern but American, Miss Boyson' has erected a coble structure, marred hero and there by ignorance of the facts but never by prejudice or. distorted vision. Had the paper attempted to prove or had It even, remotely implied that Lee or the humblest soldier who fol lowed him was a' traitor.
