Vicksburg, Miss Sept 26, 65

Respectfully returned to Maj Genl O O Howard Comr BRF and AL.
I have made diligent search for "W T Moore" the supposed writer of this letter, no such person now lives or ever has lived here. We have no property belonging to anyone of that name, and can find no citizen who knew of such a man.

The President has been imposed upon by some scoundrel.

I can think of no honorable motive that could have induced a citizen of this place to write such a letter, hiding his identity under an assumed name.
