Proctor is pro-Union. He informs his brother that the English government proposes a "strict new treaty" and will likely find "some pretext" to interfere "in our quarrel with the South." Joseph feels he has been advised not "to remain in this country." He needs $400-500 to close up his affairs. It is costly "to keep up appearances in this country." Some Americans have lost their jobs and are going home. Most actors are not getting any share of the thearter revenue with attendance down so. Joseph plans to act with Douglas in two weeks at his 'Eastern Opera House & Pavilion' starting on June 17th. He asks his brother to find a person to carry sovereigns, no, make that American gold, to him at 28 Surry St., Strand. Geo. Peabody & Co. will hold remittances for sixty days while others charge a steep fee for foreign exchange. Many men are out of work in the manufacturing cities here. This war is sad, but "providence" brought it. Joseph asks his brother to destroy this letter and not to tell the women all of this dire news because it may become too public. Part of Proctor's letter is written in a cross-hatch style on blue paper. The date of this letter is from the context only.

At a meeting of the provost bailies and councillors of the royal burgh of Jedburgh, in Scotland, held the 8th day of May, 1865, it was Resolved, That this council, on their own part and as the exponent of the feelings of the entire community of the royal burgh of Jedburgh, do record an expression of the deep sorrow universally experienced on receiving the intelligence of the assassination of President Lincoln—an act, the foul atrocity of which has excited the horror and indignation of all classes of her Majesty’s subjects. That this council, in expressing their most sincere sympathy with the government and people of the United States under their terrible national calamity, fervently hope and pray that the death of their Chief Magistrate, in a manner so shocking to every feeling of humanity, and so subversive of social order, may be regulated by an all wise and overruling Providence, so as not materially to affect their country’s prospects of internal peace, amity, and good will. That this council further express their sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln, and the family of the late President, in their sorrowful bereavement, and earnestly pray that He who has revealed himself heretofore as the father of the fatherless, and judge of the widow,” may be to them an all-abiding consolation in this their hour of trial. It was further Resolved, That the provost transmit a copy of theseresolutions to the American minister in London, with a request that he will take the earliest opportunity of communicating them to his government, and to the widow of the late President.

That this council deeply sympathize with the great American republic under the heavy loss which it has sustained by the unexpected and untimely decease, under such revolting circumstances, of a ruler whose personal excellence and high endowments have rendered him an object of honest pride to his own countrymen, and of just admiration to the rest of the world, and whose earnest endeavor to cultivate and maintain friendly relations with Great Britain must ever endear his name and memory to the people of this country.

Unto the government and people of the United States of America—the address of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Forfar, in Scotland. We beg to approach you with heartfelt regret upon the atrocious deed recently perpetrated, through which you have been so suddenly and cruelly bereaved of the wise and patriotic counsels of your honored chief. We have watched his career since he was first elected President of your great country, and he has more and more proved that his subdued firmness and energy, steadfastness to truth and morality, calm and foreseeing practical wisdom and kindly forgiving nature, fitted him for his high office, and specially qualified him for rightly steering the vessel of the state in its present perilous trials. It is, therefore, that we, in common with our countrymen, mourn his loss. We hope and trust that, chastened by the sad event, and guided by and following his noble example, you will in this time of affliction treat tenderly with all who have departed from the path of loyalty, and through your clemency command the admiration of the civilized world, heal shattered and embittered feelings, and engender kindly intercourse, so long rudely dislocated.

May 9, 1865. Address of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, Scotland. To Charles Francis Adams, esq., envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary for the United States of America, London. Sir: The provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, Scotland, desire to express their unfeigned sorrow at the tragic termination of the career of the late loved and lamented President of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln. They join in the universal cry of horror and detestation at the dreadful crime which has inflicted so deep a wound in the heart of the nation, and has awakened so keen a sympathy with you throughout the civilized world. They recognize in the late President a man who, by his honesty, vigor, and ability, secured the intense affection and respect of the people; one fitted to rule in the midst of the greatest civil conflict the world has seen, and to temper with forbearance and clemency the triumph over the vanquished. They join in earnest hope that your severe and protracted struggle may terminate with his intentions and desires fully accomplished, in the downfall of slavery, and in the entire removal from your great nation of an evil which has hitherto tramelled and distressed it. They anticipate a bright future for America in the reign of freedom, intelligence, and Christian worth; they desire an intimate and friendly understanding between her and the government and people of Great Britain; and trust that, together, they may long continue the pioneers and promoters of civilization and freedom. They will feel obliged by your communicating these sentiments to the government of America. Signed in name and by authority of the provost magistrates and town council of the royal burgh of Kirkaldy, and the seal of the burgh hereunto appended. PATRICK D. SWAN, N.

Resolutions passed at a meeting held at the Town Hall, Devizes. At a public meeting held at the Town Hall, Devizes, on Tuesday, the 9th May, 1865, the mayor in the chair— It was moved by the Rev. S. S. Pugh, seconded by W. Brown, esq., and Resolved, That this meeting takes the earliest convenient opportunity of following the example of the two houses of Parliament, and of the representative council of certain larger towns, in expressing a deep-felt sorrow at the assassination of the President of the United States; regarding it as a crime of astounding magnitude, fraught with manifest evil, not only to the great commonwealth with which we have long held friendly relations, but in all its attendant features, especially in the dastardly mode of its consummation, as quite unparalleled in modern times; and that as Englishmen, possessing an instinctive abhorrence of assassination, our sympathies are in the present case peculiarly called forth by the circumstance that the victim of this pitiless murder was one whose honest boast it was that his origin, language, and blood were British, and whose avowed sentiments as towards this country were cordially pacific. It was moved by R. W. Briggs, esq., LL.D., seconded by S. Wittey, esq., and Resolved, That we warmly sympathize with the citizens of the United States, who are thus at a critical juncture deprived of their Chief Magistrate, and in an especial manner with Mrs. Lincoln, and the other members of the late President’s family, on the blow that has so suddenly and appallingly fallen upon them. It was moved by the Rev. R. Dawson, and Resolved, That our abhorrence at the attempted assassination of the American Secretary of State, and his attendants, in all its atrocious and frightful incidents, is scarcely less than at its fellow outrage: the higher rank of the latter in the scale of crime being derived from its combining Treason with foul murder, and that we hereby tender our kindliest sympathies to the honorable Mr. Sward, and the afflicted members of his household. Moved by Edward Waylen. esq., seconded by the Rev. S S. Pugh. and Resolved, That we tender to the citizens of the United States our best wishes for their prosperity and happiness as a nation, sprung from the same stock as ourselves and following the mother country in removing from their midst the dark stain of slavery; while in the enlightened sentiments so promptly and frankly expressed by their present President, Mr. Andrew Johnson, to her Majesty’s minister plenipotentiary at Washington, viz: “That the friendship of the United States towards Great Britain is enjoined by every consideration of interest and sentiment,” we are pleased to recognize a guarantee of that pacific and mutually advantageous relationship which has for so long a period marked the intercourse of the two countries. It was proposed by Mr. Hart, seconded by Mr. H. Knight, and Resolved, That the worshipful the mayor be requested to send a copy of the foregoing resolutions to Mr. Adams, to be forwarded to his government and to Mrs. Lincoln.

The song is dedicated to Union general Benjamin F. Butler, who was the first Union commander to allow escaped slaves to stay within Union lines. Claiming the former slaves were "contraband of war," Butler used the Confederates' insistance that slaves were property against them. He claimed that as property they could be legally "confiscated" under the rules of war. Butler's policy allowed thousands of slaves to find safety behind Union lines and influenced Lincoln's later decision to issue the Emancipation Proclamation."

(David Virgil), 1900-1984 Journalist Newspaper editors Newspapers Editorials--Authorship Editorials Illinois--Decatur Description An account of the resource David Virgil Felts, a Decatur, Illinois, journalist, was born on January 31, 1900, in Marion, Illinois. Following high school graduation, Felts entered the University of Illinois at Champaign. In college Felts became the “Campus Scout,” the author of a humorous column about college happenings. This position at the university was also held by Gene Shalit, Allen Sherman, and others who later pursed careers in broadcasting and journalism. After receiving an A.B. from the University of Illinois in 1923, Felts became a reporter for the Louisville (Kentucky) Courier Journal. From 1923 until 1926, he worked as a sports editor for the Illinois State Register in Springfield, Illinois, and then served briefly as a United Press reporter. Following a year of post-graduate study at Harvard University, Felts returned to Springfield in 1928 and became an editorial writer and columnist. In December 1935, Felts joined the Lindsay-Schaub chain of newspapers as an editorial writer and moved to Decatur, Illinois. He became editorial page editor for the Decatur Herald and Review in 1958 and two years later, he was editorial page editor for the entire Lindsay-Schaub chain. Felts also wrote his own column, called “Second Thoughts.” The column contained folksy reminiscences about past events and observations on current affairs. Felts officially retired in 1967, but he continued to write his column three times a week for the Lindsay-Schaub newspapers. The column ran until Felts’ real retirement at the age of seventy-five. In 1975, Felts moved to Ft. Pierce, Florida, with his wife. Felts died in March of 1985. Felts, who was interested in local and state history, was a long time member of the Illinois State Historical Society. He served as Society director from 1980 to 1983 and was elected vice-president in 1983. In July 1958, Felts was appointed by Governor William G. Stratton to the Illinois Lincoln Sesquicentennial Commission. Felts was also active in the Friends of the Decatur Public Library, serving as a trustee for the Library from 1951 to 1960 and as president of the board of directors from 1953 until 1955.  The finding aid for the David V.
