My dear Sir,

                        I was about to say friend—as I so esteem you not having the opportunity to call and say it to you in person, I cannot leave the city without dropping you a line to thank you for the many friendly things you have said and written to defend from unjust assaults the services and character of your fellow countryman.

 

Your friend

W S Rosecrans
