Col. A. Coward
Dear Col:
With the deepest regret I read of the troubles at the old Citadel – and now write to ask you earnestly and respectfully to advise my son [illegible] as to his duty under the circumstances. He has had no experience away from home – and may be led away by bad influences. Please give him to understand that it is our wish that he obeys
[Page 2]
implicitly the constituted actions of the Institution, and join no mob.
I have written him.
Very Respectfully
J. O’ H. Sanders
