Manly M.E., Newbern, North Carolina, to James Alphonsus McMaster, Esq., New York, New York, 1865 January 3
Scope and Contents
The recent upsetting of things in the south has deprived him of a judgeship on the supreme court of the state, scattered the accumulations of his past life, and forced him to begin anew as a practicing attorney. He is associated with John Haughton, an eminent lawyer of established reputation and sends McMaster a card. His misfortunes have arisen from a devotion to cause of the south in the late Civil War. He has been "tabooed" by party now in power and violently thrust out of an office, held by terms of the constitution for "good Behavior," and kept so long in an un-pardoned and exposed condition that property of every description has been wasted and stolen away. This is not offered with a view to invoke sympathy for suffering in that cause, but as the facts of his condition. He asks McMaster to publish the enclosed card. ` P.S. He sent his annual subscription to the Journal a few days ago and inquires if subscription has been received. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
