(I shouldn't start a msg like this, until I refressed my mind on names and dates) He started to write, but his handwriting was unreadable. So, his grand daughter translated what had been written, and then took dictation for the rest. I think that was "Mamie". Since I had the St. Albans Raiders mess in mind, I did not read the remainnder. For example, you will not learn - that he orderd the Raiders - Twice - not to go on the raid, and then refused to defend them (until ordered by Richmond to pay for the defense), in any other source. I doubt that Mamie would Edit that information, you could easily call it "Prime Source". Are you familiar with this writing?

No, not at all. Could you refresh yourself and point me in the right direction?
