Early thanks McMaster for inserting his article in the Freeman's Journal. He has just read several back numbers of that paper, and he is astonnded at the closeness with which his thinking parallels that of McMaster, despite the fact that Early's article has been written long before he saw the McMaster articles. Early expresses the distrust he has always had for Andrew Johnson, and feels that his policy of reconstruction has borne out his contention that Johnson was acting purely from sulfish motives. Early sends McMaster $2 for a six months subscription to the Hournal. P.S. He asks that McMaster correct several typographical mistakes that appeared in the article. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
