Remarkable Collection Letters Presented to Li- brary of Congress. The notable gift, just announced, made by the Duke of Marlborough to the Library of Congress of an extensive collection of autograph letters written 10 him between 1894 and 1926, together with the original of the letter from the first Duke of Marlborough, written on the battlefield of Ramillies, May 24, 1706; the original of the letter from Victoria to Frances Anne, Duchess of Marlborough, written in 1830, and three autograph letters of the Earl of Bea- consfield, is quite without precedent in the history of the national Library, it was announced there yesterday, with the explanation that no other instance is_recalled by the Library authorities when the head of a family of such dis- tinction has deliberately confided to & foreign custody family memorials so precious in character. The collection is supplemented with photographs and articles from the Marlborough archives at Blenheim Pal- ace having relation to the written docu- ments. Aside from the unusual value of the gift from the standpoint of the historical investigator, it is regarded as having a special significance from the standpoint of international friendship and good will. Some months ago the duke formed the purpose of giving the collection to the United States, and in consulting Bainbridge Colby, formerly Secretary of State. accepted the latter's sugges- | tion to donate it to the national Library | in Washington. It will be held in the | kecping of the Library's division of | manuscripts, in accordance with its | high importance and unique interest. Royalty Is Represented. Among the individuals represented by these letters are King Edward, the Prince of Wales, Prince Christian of | Schleswig-Holstein. the Duke of Cam- | bridge and the Duke of Norfolk; states- | men like Lords Salisbury, Curzon, Lons- dale, Reading, Dufferin, Lansdowne, !

Successful as was the feint which paved the way for the success at Ramillies, his personal leadership was needed to make the victory certain. Unhorsed during the battle, he was nearly caotured. An aide. holding his &tirrup as he remounted, was shot down. Once again in the saddle. he rallied his forces, who had been stunned by the onslaught of the French, and. driving them back until they were com- pletely routed, won the day. i Helped Save America. Across the sea in the same year. as a part of the same war, the French and Spanish were defeated in Carolina. Ramillies helped to save America to the English. Marlborough’s letter, now here, reads as f(flln S0 “Monday. May 24, 11 O'Clock. “I did not tell my dearest soul in my last the design I had of engaging the enemy, if possible, to a battle, fearing the concern she has for me might make her uneasy. But I ean now give her the satisfaction of letting her know that on Sunday last we fought, and that God Almighty has been pleased to ®ive us a victory. “I must leave the particulars to this bearer, Col.
