This letter has three main focuses, the first is a letter of thanks for a note that Senator Bruce sent to a tenant of Thomas which he said was much appreciated and according to the tenant James H Osborne will be kept for the next generation. The second part of the letter is a request to put a good word in for Thomas concerning a position in the secretary of war's office. The third portion mentions a book "Adventures and Observations in Africa" which he recommends to the senator, and offers to send the Senator a copy.
