Letters : Providence, to George W. Potter, 1956 Feb. 29, Mar. 2.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/766076676

Letter of 29 Feb.: Lownes follows up on Potter's recent column in the Providence Journal concerning the Sprague murder trial, and notes that he owns copies of the original 1844 pamphlet and the 1884 reprint (the latter with annotations of William H. Potter, one of the prosecutors). He also owns Report of the Committee of South Kingstown (1855), and summarizes its contents ("a vivid story of early shenanigans" related to railroads) as the possible basis for a future column. 2 Mar.: He encloses the Report, and relates an anecdote concerning a descendant of Rowland G. Hazard, who was concerned in the 1854 incident that is the subject of the Report.
