Col. O. Brown, at Richmond, and I am in hopes the matter will be taken in hand by the Authorities at that place, or at Washington. There is a not a man whom I ever saw previous to coming here, within sixty miles of this point. I have no soldiers, & dont want any if they take my life. I am willing to be sacrificed for the cause. 

There is a more unanimous feeling against the Government to day, that there was a year ago, or in 1861. It is time [[note]] true [[/note]] they claim to be loyal & to uphold the President. But on the other hand, it is to hell with the union man and the officers & soldiers of the army; no courtesy of any kind has been extended to me by any of the people. I am alone, an outcast, a vile yankee — only to be tolerated. I am busy from morning till night. There is no justice among the mass for the colored people. I could tell you much if we were face to face, that I don think expedient to trust on paper. If convenient, let me hear from you.

The omission on the envelope is made for obvious reasons
