Grant and Lincoln's invitation

[loetar44]

Just found in the “Oneida NY Free Press 1880-1886” on page 1321 Gen. Grants OWN account about why they left Washington in such a hurry. It was not because of Mary Lincoln (!) and the decision to leave for Burlington came from Julia Grant while Grant was with Lincoln (!)…… Grant also speaks about the anonymous letter he received from a man who said he had been detailed to kill him. However, he also says: “but how true the letter was I cannot say”. The article “The End of Life” was an large article re. the death of Grant.
