ALLEN WASHINGTON — The volumes | of Lincoln papers recently made e public at the Library of Con-'e aress greately enriched the docu mentary history of the martyred emancipator. But there is one in- triguing 'document in the Capital that stfll remains to be unveiled. 1t is in the: archives of . the stately British Embassy on upper Massachusetbs: Avenue. Tke document records an un- usual incident during Lincoln’s presidency. The unique paper was discovered by thé late British Am- bassador, Sir ;Ronald Lindsay, who, on one mellow occasion, told. the late President Roosevelt the story. This is it: During Lincoln’s incumbency, Lafayette Park, which faces the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue, was enclosed by a tall, iron fence flanked by a dens2 hedge of shrubbery. The park was a popular rendezvous for couples. | But there was one drawback. The gates were iocked at 10 o'clock ev- ery night. One summer night, after ing late with Lincoln in the White | House, Secretary of State geward passed by the park enroute to hn" home nearby.
