communicating to you a few words
it is now better than five years sin the commencement of this war
it has always been my friends desire to live in this state of bliss
received from a people who call themselves Christians
sending and army to this place without delay
anything that lies in my power
I have a right to be supplied their cause and conduct them the right way
them that are guilty, they had much better show us the the Right and Wrong
your brothers how we are imposed upon, you may rely on what I say to be truth
