An Old Album and its Contents

of the contributors to this album was
John Quincy Adams, who wrote in a
trembling hand two complimentary

gess contriburea some elegant verses
an the volume. The historian Pres
cott expressed his indebtedness "to tie
fair owner of this little book" in a Fut%
ficiently legible 'band, considering the
state of his eye sight. J. C. Calhoun
expressed his best wishes for the health
and happiness of Mrs. C , in a
sprawl i iag hand that one. does not. an

lie sees it. Then cornea "Faithfully
yours; Charles Dickens," with a super
fluity of Ilou4ish,which seerrie so amaz

was written at Washington
