AN AUTOGRAPH OF JOHN HOLMES. MR. Noah Brooks sends to the secretary of the Maine Historical Society the following note: To the Secretary. THE ARK, CASTINE, MAINE, OCTOBER 4, 1898. Dear Sir:-The enclosed autograph of John Holmes, once senator from Maine, and several times Representative in Congress from the district of Maine, might possibly be valued by the Maine Historical Society. As you will see it was addressed to the publishers of the National Intelligencer, Washington, and gives the announcement of the death of his father. Senator Holmes' first wife was the sister of my father, the late Barker Brooks. His second wife was Caroline Swan, a daughter of Gen. Henry Knox. Yours sincerely, NOAH BROOKS. The enclosure to which the above note refers is as follows: Died in Kingston, County of Plymouth, Masstts, on the nineteenth, Mr. Melatiah Holmes, father of Mr. Holmes of the U. S. Senate, aged 83 years. He died at his residence on his farm which he had occupied about 60 years. His ancestors were among the first settlers who landed at Plymouth. Please to insert for J. Holmes. In the July number of the Quarterly, sixteen lines from the bottom of page two hundred and ninety-one, the name Kenniston is a mistake; it should read, "her sister Eunice [Beath] Fullerton adopted the babe." The author of this article has had letters from members of the Society asking for the name of William Fullerton's wife. William Fullerton1 married Jennet Beath1, a sister to Walter Beath', and consequently John Beath2 and Margaret Fullerton2, who were married in 1739, were cousins. The author desires an answer to the following queston: "Was Jennet Gilmore the name of the mother of Walter Beath1 and Jennet Beath' ?" PROCEEDINGS. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1898. THE fall meeting of the Society was held in the Library Hall, Portland, and was called to order at 2.30 P. M. by the President, Mr. Baxter.
