Grayson Carter Co Ky May 13th 1865 Mr James Skeims Dear sir

I take pleasure in giving this testimony to the character of your son Thomas who worked for me on the farm before going into the Army of the United States He was both temperate and industrious and I think honorable and having heard that for some cause he has been sentinced to imprisonment for as a felon I feel no less astonished than satisfied bad company brought about the unhappy result

Very Resply A J. Lansdowne
