Title: Letter, January 26, 1861, E. R. Lea, Philadelphia, to "My dear Countess of Tallahassee" [Ellen Call Long?], 4 pp.: "Your Father's views are what I expected from the friend of General Jackson; and his name will endure as one who tried to stem the tide of a fanatical and ill-judged revolution, when those who have inaugurated the Disunion of their Country will have sunk to the oblivion they deserve . . . I cannot help believing that it would be difficult for you to approve altogether of the step into which the Gulf States have been urged by South Carolina. At any rate let your sentiments on these matters be what they may. . . I hope you will come up to see us next summer. I will guarrantee that you shall say and do just what you please without the risk of having your head shaved, and a robe of Tar and Feathers here, Cotton not being so plentiful. . .tell me how you all are: 'Sister Mary,' the baby, None, Vance and all. . .although I expect to adhere as long as I live to the old stars and stripes, and you have decided to sail under another flag . . . believe me to be your sincere friend."
