Scope and Contents

She received his letter and thanks him for it. It is understood that the president had lifted the martial law in Kentucky but General Palmer does not seem to understand it nor do the Louisville Journal or Democrats. He encloses the order from the mayor of Lexington to the citizens of the states and also General Palmer's order to General Beislein. Some of the citizens built a block-house fearing that the guerrillas might attack the town but was disbanded with the President's proclamation. She asks for his views on the position of Kentucky at the present time for they have been under many different rules and laws and have lost their identity. ` P.S. She does not wish this letter to be published. :: I-1-m A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
