Letter from William W. Keen to Lyman Abbott
William W. Keen writes to Lyman Abbott about John Edward Addicks, an aspiring politician in Delaware. Keen has corresponded with Abbott previously on this topic. He has also contacted Secretary of State John Hay, whom he first met in college. Keen states that Addicks is “in financial straits” and his home is falling into disrepair. Keen also claims that Addicks has “captured the entire fortune of both of [his] wives,” the first of whom is deceased, the second from whom he is divorced.
