I am probably boring everyone to death....
Again, sorry about the poor quality photos...
Here is a letter from Thomas L Macon to the Chairman & Members of the National Executive Committee in New York City... States he is sending James B Eustis (US Senator) to talk about the affairs.... Interesting in that the Wiki on Mr Eustis talks about him going to speak with President Andrew Johnson...
Tidbit from Wiki on James Eustis: "He was elected a member of the Louisiana House of Representatives prior to the Reconstruction acts, and was one of the committee sent to Washington, D.C. to confer with President Andrew Johnson on Louisiana affairs. He was again a member of the State house of representatives in 1872, and was a member of the Louisiana Senate from 1874 to 1878."
The Letter reads as follows:
Sir,
I take pleasure in presenting to your favorable attention the Hon. James B Eustis of this city who is on a visit to New York. I have taken the liberty to request him to call on the National Executive Committee, and confer with them on the political situation here. Mr. Eustis is finely? posted as to our difficulties, and our chances of success in this state. And any communication he may make can be implicitly relied upon. With respect ?????? Gentlemen Your abiding servant T. L. Macon President Dem. State Central Committee.
