Writes that the Mr. Jones of whom Mr. Ogden speaks was not the "man that the draft belonged to." Says the Mr. Jones in question is a "single man about 22 years of age and enlisted in the 101st Regt." Jones is at the Broad and Cherry Street Hospital. He returns the letter, telling her that Jones will come to Ogden to get the draft because he is "in want of the money very much." Mr. Jones explains that if the Mr. Jones in question needs more money, he should write to him, and he will send him some.
