Gardiner, Dec. 15, 1919.

Editor Sprague's Journal:

On page 99 on your last Journal is a letter of Daniel Webster
recommending the appointment of Col. F. T. Lally as an engineer
and the comment is made that possibly his home was in Hallowell.

Col. Lally married a daughter of George Evans of Gardiner, one
of the brainiest men who ever represented Maine in the United 
States senate.  Col. Lally built one of the finest homes in Gardiner,
which was occupied by himself and Mr. Evans, and has since been
known as the Lally house.

This house was in that part of Gardiner that afterward became a 
portion of the town of Farmingdale, lying between Gardiner and 
Hallowell.

Mr. Evans was an intimate friend of Daniel Webster when they
served together in the senate.

J. S. MAXCY.
