You will find a copy of Charles Brownlee's plea to General Sanborn dated 9 May 1865 on pages 97-101 of United Daughters of the Confederacy, Missouri Division, "Reminiscences of the Women of Missouri During the Sixties," published I believe in 1913 at Jefferson City by the Hugh Stephens Printing Company. Since copies of this book are rare, I should add that Morningside House, Inc. of Dayton, Ohio reprinted it in 1988. If you can't find it, use Interlibrary Loan and specify those page numbers for the reprint, as libraries are not likely to lend out the 1913 edition because it is an antique.
