ALS. From John Bell Brownlow. An extended letter of complaint in regard to the misrepresentations about his father contained in a serial the newspaper published entitled A Boy Spy in Dixie. Denounces the Craig family, on whom the author appears to have relied. ...the only member of the family who was loyal was the old man Craig himself, who was as loyal as in infirm old may could be with his disloyal surroundings...The only son of his family was conspicuous but for two things and that was utter dissoluteness in morals and malignant hatred of all Union people. States that, despite him many public conflicts, Parson Brownlow was well-liked by all. Says that his father got along quite well with Captain Batrobe, who commanded the troops guarding the Brownlow home. Describes Parson Brownlow's time in jail and in Confederate Knoxville.
