ed to Chicago on their recent trip

though' they formerly lived there,
where Mr. Wilson's father had estab
lished .the first Chicago newspaper,
the old Evening Journal. In 1849.

tha Freeman Esmond to her friend
Julia Boyd of New York, tn 1886. The
letter-skit are a regular feature of
the paper, written weekly by Herma
Clark for the Tribune.
Following is the letter mentioning
the Wilsons:
Chicago. April 17, 1886.
Dear Julia:
- This will be only a line, as I am
about to set out for the south side, to
make some calls. The first on my list
Is young Mrs. R. L. Wilson of Calumet
avenue, a newly married friend, whose
husband la with J. V. Farwell and Co.
She was a Miss Hawley before her
marriage. Her husband is a son of
John L. Wilson, founder and editor
of the Chicago Journal. Dear father
was a friend of this eminent editor,
and I remember that father once met
Mr. Lincoln at the Wilson home, on
Wabash avenue, before his nomina
tion for the presidency. The Wilsons
were Important people in Chicago. A
brother of the Journal editor, named
C. L. Wilson, was secretary of the
American legation In England during
the civil war, and his niece. Laura
Wilson, was presented at court while
he was in London.
Now I must hurry off. More next
time. Much love,
Martha Freeman Esmond.

son, the bride and groom mentioned
by Martha, are now residents of
Rogue River valley, Oregon, but have
been spending some time In Chicago.

dented. The part of Candida Is still unas
slgned, with opening night set for

a difficult task to select the leading

eral nights that the play Is to run.
An unusual part of the production

seated In a single row about the cen
ter of the room, the stage marked
only by a large rug and furniture.
