Since his subscription to the Freeman's Journal is only paid up to October 31, 1861 he encloses by his friend, Colonel _____ Nichols, $10 for which he requests a receipt up to January 1, 1864 and the balance is to be used for the cause of our country. He is sorry that is all he can spare, but he has nothing left but his salary, and that is liable to go any day. He inquires about a letter he sent McMaster 10 or 12 days ago, asking the whereabouts of his brother-in-law, Blackwell, and authorizing McMaster to draw on Garesche in his favor, from $100 to $150. He knows that his letters have been opened in the St. Louis post office and every good Democrat is suspected of disloyalty because of the traitors who have ruined them. He did not know whether this letter might have been diverted from its address. ` P.S. He sent an article he wrote, a copy of which was sent to each Congressman. McDougall? of California quoted from it in his speech on General Stone's case. At that time they were victorious everywhere, but because of the President playing into the hands of the Abolitionists. Stanton by his ambition to be the master spirit and the orders of the General to lay waste to Virginia acted as recruiting sergeants for the rebels, the South was able to raise a new army, showed them that submission was useless, and they are now whipping us. Since the Abolitionists have brought this about, they have a right to be called traitors. He wishes they would be defeated in that State in the coming election, but he doubts it. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
