Mrs. Kay Walsh Letter
In this letter, Mrs. Kay Walsh of Lorain, Ohio transmits a copy of a Civil War letter to the editor of the Knoxville Journal, F. C. Childress. Walsh wishes to sell the letter, and believes that Childress will be interested because it mentions sending a copy of the Journal home. It also discusses troop movements, describes the conditions in East Tennessee (including the relative lack of slaves), mentions meeting Parson William G. Brownlow's son (who takes pains to inform every one that Parson Brownlow is his father), and sends greetings to friends at home. Both documents are photocopies of the originals.
