Harrisonburg Va. Feby 19 1866

Dear Sir

Your last letter is to hand.

I have found much difficulty in getting the facts you desire in such form that I would be willing to see them go into history — Every fellow has his tale and all just exactly correct, but I have not been able to sift them so as to justify me in giving them to you — Our Court sits to day & will continue for 2 weeks after which I will write you the best I can on the subject —

My regards to Mr. Shutt —

Yrs Truly
John T. Harris
