Lennoxville

11^th Nov. 1867

 

J. D. Corse Esqr.

            My dear Sir,

                        Notwithstanding the reports of an arrangement by which I should be relieved of the necessity of going to Richmond, the fact is that nothing has been done to assure us of a trial or to remove the obligation of attendance. When I leave here it will be my object to pass without delay to the end of the journey, it will not therefore be probable that I shall see you again before going.

 

            Will you send me a statement of the investment with which you allowed me to trouble you, such a description as will suffice for any use. 

 

            Present my affectionate remembrance to Mrs. Corse, to Miss Smith and the children.

 

            I am as ever very truly

            your friend

           Jeffn Davis
