Dr Sir,

In my letter to you of yesterday I overlooked the fact, that although you have known me personally for twenty years, you have not had the means of knowing my position since the rebellion. I therefore add this note referring you to Senator Baker of Campbell, Adj^t Gen^l^{J. W. Finnell, & Senator Thornton F. Marshall, who have had oppoortunities to know my sentiments}

My whole object, as you will doubtless understand, is to procure if possible the influence of the Executive
of my state, ~~that~~ to obtain from the powers at Washington, ~~I have~~ an investigation of my case, that I may have a chance of relief from an unjust & cruel imprisonment, which I have suffered for a long month without semblance of charge against me, at great pecuniary sacrifice to so poor a man as I am

Very Resply,
Your Obt serv^t
James R. Hallam
