Letter to John S. Mosby, 1906 May 11.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/51941010

Bryan forwards some papers to Mosby and discussess a letter of Mosby to Ben Palmer in which the Mosby commented on Bryan's refusal to forgive the Yankees. Bryan feels he cannot forgive those who do not express regret and under whose injuries Virginia suffered, mentioning particularly destruction of property and Negro rule. Bryan concludes by noting that he has enjoyed visiting the North, and finds some individuals there "attractive," and gives an account of a gathering at the home of Robert Treat Paine in which he recalled the emotional disbanding of Mosby's men on April 21st, 1865. Mosby has annotated the letter with several comments clarifiying his letter to Palmer in regards to a statement by Bob Ingersoll (Robert G. Ingersoll?) and including the words "Bloody shirt" and "Is that Christian doctrine?"
