apers Enrich Material on Lincoln, ‘Rattle No Skeletons

Reveal Emancipator as Peacemaker in Cabinet ‘And Active Director of Army Drives

By DOROTHY WILLIAMS, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 28.—The long-secret papers of Abraham Lincoln today gave historians an enriched-—but essentially unchanged-pic-

ture of the Civil war President's life and times.

Among the 18.350 féded

‘sides of the Lincoln personality. But there are no skeletons from

| | family closets,

Mr. Lincoln stands out in strong-

er outline as the firm and perpetual | peacemaker in his squabbling Civil "| war cabinet and as the real com- | mander-in~chief 6f the Union army.

The items—some of the most

| choice of which are now on display | —were opened to the public for the | | first fime Saturday in accordance | | with the wishes of the late Robert } | Todd Lincoln, son of the assassinat- § | ed President, who gave the papers f to the library.

Library . officials reported that some 30 Lincoln students who studied the Buckram-bound documents for 12 hours before to the formal opening were “unanimously enthusiastic” over their scholarly worth,

“The collection provides much-|

needed amplifications, clarifications and explanations of passages in history which have hitherto been but imperfectly known,” they said. Nothing New on Courtship They called attention to new evidence of Mr. Lincoln's “willingness to make concessions rather than

incur tie HOTPFors of 4 CVI War”

And they noted the omissions of personal material. Some concluded that the. son removed any such items from the collection. “There is nothing, for instance, to add to history’'s account of Mr. Lincoln’s courtship of Ann Rutledge.

Nor is there anything-—with the?

possible exception of a letter, with many words mis-spelled, to Lincoln from his stepbrother, J, D. Johnston —bearing on the occasional claims that both the President and his mother, Nancy Hanks Lineoin, were illegitimate. The stepbrother's letter of May

One Letter to Wife There is only one letter from the President to his wife, Mary Todd

Lincoln — a chatty, but important

note which reported the disappearance from the White House of the pet goat of their son, Thaddeus. Of greatest inierest to the public were the original drafts or revised proofs, of such familiar documents as the Emancipation Proclamation, his war message, his farewell to his Springfield, Ill, neighbors and his first inaugural address. ; The revised ending of the inaugural speech, altered at the suggestion of Secretary of State William JH. Seward, showed a moré conciliatory attitude toward the South. Relations With Cabinet

Letters dealing with the Presi-

dent’s relations with his cabinet]

and ‘his day-by-day prosecution of the war were counted by historians as the greatest find, But the full valué of the collection can not he measured until after lengthy study, they said. Notable items in the Yollawing,
