Second letter scanned is from Edmund\'s father, A. Robie to his son (Edmunds brother) Francis, regarding Edmund deserting with 8 others, that several of the men are trying to get some money together to help get a lawyer..trying to get General Marston to speak to the President, maybe he can get a pardon..the officers here will do all they can....signed in text by J.M.M.Eliot on fourth page...a five page letter .
