Jackpot!!
Thank you everyone for your responses.
Check out what I just found...
First picture is a letter I have signed by Gen. Harry T Hays & John S Tully - While trying to research more about it I found a newspaper article (Courier & Republic Aug 15th 1868) that transcribes THE EXACT SAME LETTER I HAVE! It is word for word! Now I can put it in context - its great. Seems they were a little pissed off at Louisiana Governor Warmoth about some comments he made about the Blair Knights & the Seymour Knights.
The letter I have is in response to Thomas L Macons letter informing Harry & John of Gov. Warmoth comments. (second half of the News Article)
The letter is in a plastic sleeve - I am trying to handle as little as possible - so the picture is not that great.
