Body	Office of President Lebanon Ohio, Feb. 26th, 1866 Mr. J. S. Frank, Chester, Ohio -- Dear Sir:- Inclosed, I send your grades as you request and meet your grammatical difficulties. Query. "What is a participial noun?" Ans. It is a participle in form, limited by an article or an adjective, and consequently has no governing power. Query. "Write a sentence containing a participial noun in the objective case governing another objective." Ans. This demand is absurd; a noun whether participial or otherwise never governs an objective; objective cases are the objects of verbs or prepositions or the subjects of infinitives, never objects of nouns. Query. "What verbal force has a participial noun?" Ans. None save that it is the name of some action, state or being, whereas a participle is not a name; it assumes the action state or being. Very truly yours, A. Holbrook [signature]
