Name of city is illegible. Possibly created by Robert Hughes Fitzhugh, who served in the First New York Light Artillery during the Civil War. Mentions an enclosed letter transmitted by his brother in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, from a Congressional member from that district (possibly James Herron Hopkins). Asks Hunt to notify him when Hunt's bill is brought before the House of Representatives. As a postscript, notes "I protest against Mr. Hopkins calling an act of justice relief."
