April 10: ON THIS DAY in 1942, fighting on Bataan ceases
ON THIS DAY IN 1852, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle reported, “Model Artists. – An establishment, which for some time has existed at No. 598 Broadway, New York, as a model artist concern called the Temple of Graces, was broken into by the police last night, and the artists taken to the cells. The good time has not yet come when the restraints of clothing and other trammels of society can be dispensed with.”

ON THIS DAY IN 1865, the Eagle reprinted the following letter: ‘“Headquarters Army of Northern Virginia, April 9, 1865. Lieut. General U.S. Grant, Commanding U.S.A.: General: — I have received your letter of this date containing the terms of surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia, as proposed by you; as they are substantially the same as those expressed in your letter of the 8th inst., they are accepted. I will proceed to designate the proper officers to carry the stipulations into effect. Very respectfully, Your obedient servant, R.E. Lee, General.’”
