My friend Geo Anderson of this County has this morning called ^on^ me for ^a^ letter of introduction to you, he informs me that his sSon joined a recruiting oOfficer who claimed to belong to Jessee — while on a Spree and was the next day Captured by Bridwater on the highway without weapons, Mr Anderson is a gentleman and will represent the facts to you correctly,. Mr A advocated your election for gGovener to my personal knowledge and has all the time that I have known him advocated perfect obedience to all Federal and State laws and & Military orders, I am intimately acquainted with Mr Anderson and know that he went farther than I could endorse in the advocacy of the present aAdministration, Any favour consistent with duty granted to Mr Anderson will not be dishonored by him, I feel for him as good citizen, His house was my place of refuge the night I escaped from the Guerrilla,s after my brutal treatment by them He has from the commencement been my friend.
