Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).

  • In this letter of August 19, 1863, John Hyman writes to Joseph Cathey concerning his efforts to be elected to the Confederate Congress. He discusses the outcome of a recent convention held to choose candidates, and shares his thoughts concerning other candidates who were being considered or who were interested in the congressional seat, including Sam Love and Allen Davidson.
  • Hendersonville Aug 19th 1863 Col. Jos Cathey D Sir -- Enclosed I send you an address I have just issued to the people of this district, as also several copies in a different envelope. You will please do me the favor to hand them to gentlemen in your neighborhood. The Convention that met here yesterday there being but five or six counties represented adjourned to meet again on the 28th of Sept. -- but I am inclined to think the adjt. will prove to be indefinite. If so, and no peace candidate is sought out as such, I consider my election beyond _____adventure. I am aware that Col. Davidson has numerous friends in the more Western Counties, but I have had no opportunity as yet, of seeing the people in their counties. As regards the rest of the counties, if no other candidate comes out I can get a large majority while I feel quite confident of being able to get the best vote in the army. I _____ that one or two regiments in Va. voted by mistake on the 1st Thursday inst. and gave me an unanimous vote. so I was informed by Capt. _____ on yesterday just from army. As regards Dr. Sam Love, I consider him out of the race. I do not know of a vote he will get in this county -- indeed, he will get few votes indeed outside of Haywood County -- at least, such is the opinion of gentlemen upon whose judg= = ment I can rely. -- I am willing to be advised by my friends, and even now if it can be made _____ Col. Davidson or any one else is the man, I would most will= ingly & cheerfully withdraw(?) from the _____. -- The difficulty about the con= =vention was that the members of the legislature from this District recommended it, but when they returned home they took no steps to have a full delegation, and the friends of a particular individual, who professes to be the preeminently a peace man, availed themselves of the opportunity to send delegates here to have him nominated. But they failed for the reason suggested. I would be pleased to have your _____. I am, Col, Ver Respectfully Truly Obd. Seervant Jno D. Hyman
