Letter from Henry Allyn Stillman to Ernest E. Rogers, 1902 Apr. 26.

Letter to Rogers referring to Rogers's letter telling of dedication of the Nathan Hale Schoolhouse (New London, Conn.) on 17 June 1901 and of himself marching in parade with two other sons of Revolutionary veterans. He had written a letter in the past June to Mr. Trumbull (probably Jonathan Trumbull, 1844-1919), telling him that as a boy of fifteen and a half, he had known Alice Adams (Alicia Adams Ripley Lawrence, the fianceĢe of Nathan Hale), quite well as an elderly lady. She had a small ivory portrait of Hale which had become lost, and she talked quite a lot about Hale.
