Letter from Hon. Wm.H. Seward.

WASHINGTON, July 25, 1868. |
MAJ.-GEN. HUNTER—
MY DEAR SIR: Harriet Tubman, a colored woman, has been nursing our soldiers during nearly all the war. She believes she has a claim for faithful services to the command in South Carolina with which you are connected, and she thinks that you would be disposed to see her claim justly settled.
I have known her long, and a nobler, higher spirit, or a truer, seldom dwells in the human form. I commend her, therefore, to your kind and best attentions.
|
Faithfully your friend, WILLIAM H. SEWARD. |
Letter from Col. James Montgomery.
