Nashville, June 3, 1866.

My dear Sir:-

In accordance with the promise I made you I send you, herewith, the photograph of the Rebel Gen. Morgan. It is a very fine likeness. When he was killed he had no beard on the sides of his face but wore a long mustache and goatee. The photograph of the monster and guerrilla chief Ferguson is a perfect likeness. By the hands and orders of this fiend no less than seventy beings were murdered. This number embraces defenseless, unarmed private citizens and unarmed captured Union soldiers.

I presume you have read the records of the Court which tried him. If you have not and wish to do so I will send you the same. For several days I attended the trial. After reading the evidence of his brutality you would not believe that any respectable rebel could sympathize with him or petition for his pardon yet in this City the rebel population sympathized with him and those boasting of their chivalry and aristocratic position petitioned the President to pardon him.

I have taken pains to get a fine likeness of Morgan supposing you might desire to have it in your work.

After examining the correspondence to which reference was made in our conversation I will write you again.

Yours Truly,

John B. Brownlow
