These two books I present to you a present and token of my love or you. Will you accept them as e same, and may they ever be tresh your memory, and when you are oking at these books think of one lwbo so carefully arranged them for ou. The picture book 1s for you to at and amuse yourself while in your youthful days, but the one with president’s marria; ein is tor you keep to remember that our Presi at was the first man that was eve ied in the White House. I s married on the second day of 1 e ne, 1885, and about the first ot pril of th abo took you to California to live ith your Aunt Belle Price. and on syne 21st, 1886, the supreme court @dirmed the decision of ame year your Grandpa putt at Butler, Bates county, Mo. e I was charged with murder my wite, your mother, which 1s lly false and a put up job on me. committed suicide by taking a t Padose of laudanum and then jump- into a well and drowning. You was just one year old two days before your mother’s death. You was born the 17th day ot De- Fember, 1883, and the day after your fother’s death I was arrested, charg- ed with murder in the first degree aad was convicted. Then I took the case to the supreme court at Jef- ferson City; there the case was ar- |gued and sent back to Butler tor a few hearing. The case was tried again in June, 1884, which resulted ma hung ury. Then the case was tmedagain in November, the jury fendered a verdict of guilty ot mur- der in the first degree. Then I took the case to the supreme court the second time, which was affirmed. }) Johnme, my darling boy, beliey meas I will give you a true and cor- Rect statement of the death of your mother. She was deranged at times, ‘ad when so she often tried to kill serself. Her own mother acknowl- edged on the witness stand that she Was just in time to keep her from drowning herself in her own well at t hefore we were married, and T was just in time to save her from hanging herselt about two weeks be- 4) fore she drowned herselt in the well. Leould tell you a great deal more in regard to this sad affair, but I think Thave told you enough to con- Fince you that I am wrongtully ac- fused. But come what may, my darling boy, I shall meet it like a Man. They can take my life, but ‘they cannot take my soul.
