| 1I am certain that at present the pick
is between him & Cobb & he will defeat
Cobb in my opinion as Forney I know
is in for Walker. So is Sickels & other
Northern friends of Cobb I believe from
good evidence.
Pierce is begging as I write
you of all “les amis des noirs” wor
king to buy his freedom, & since you
have left Garland has set up
to be sold, I shall sell him to
negro traders before I leave, + I
think you ought to take Pierce
home to give him a good licking
& put him in the fields. He is
young enough to mend. Garland
is incurable-- All my family
by well & send their best love
My truly your friend
