Lincoln's Letter Restores Aged Treasury Employee
Washington April 4 Lincoln's historic act saved Susan Dugger of Carlinville, sole breadwinner for a fallen Union soldier, by securing her a government post. Though ill for over a year and absent without pay, Secretary MacVeagh kept her on Kasseny's payroll list, and Senator Cullom delivered the assurance she may return if able to work. Dugger, now seventy, transferred from post office to treasury after Lincoln's letter and spent forty five years in counterfeit detection handling billions.
