Thu Jun 21 09:14:20 2001


There is mentioned several times in correspondence around April of 1865 of a letter to the citizens of north Alabama and the citizens of Morgan Co. concerning a "Suspension of Hostilities". Col. Patterson of the 5th Al Cav recieved the letter and Brig. Gen R. S. Granger, Hdqtrs District of Northern Alabama stated that he hoped Gen. Roddy would get the letter and cease hostilities. There is also a mention of a petition from the citizens. Is nay one familiar with these documents and are they available for copy?
