BALTIMORE, _September 28, 1869_.

I have known Miss Carroll many years; she is a daughter of
Governor Carroll, and by birth and education entitled to the

She writes exceedingly well, and during the late war published

serviceable to the cause of the Union. Her own loyalty was ardent
and constant through the struggle.

Yours faithfully and truly,

ROBERT C. SCHENCK.[12]

Dear Miss Carroll:

send me, and am glad to see that your claim is so strongly
endorsed--so strongly that it can hardly be ignored by Congress.

Very truly yours,

H. MCCULLOCH.[13]

My Dear Miss Carroll:

I owe you an humble apology for not calling to pay my respects to
you, as I in
