I am the Elder of the methodist church there, [[strikethrough]] But [[/strikethrough]] (where we had one) But when I go there, I go at night, and leave at night, I fear to be known, 
2nd  So far as the [[strikethrough]] Alat [[/strikethrough]] Atlanta case is concerned, I was there when that occured, Gurg Hamilton, and his wife was in a row, and the police came to arrest him, and he run, and was shot while runing, That is the self defence Marshall Murphy shot him in, 

If you do any thing with out using my name, I hope you will, but to make public my name, is to insure my immediate death, 

Very truly yours 
H. M. Turner,
Late Chaplain 1st U S Col Troops, and 
Late Chaplain 128 U S Col Troops

This letter is written in great haste, I hope you can read it however,
