Fredricksburg Va April 1st 1870 Mr, Manly, On returning from the country last week, where I had been hastily summoned to the sick bed of a friend, (and it proved her death bed.) I learned that a gentleman whose description answered to that of Mr. Manly, had been here to see me. I was very sorry, yet the circumstances were such that I could not have been here to see my own brother.
