Mosby notes it is the anniversary of "the Greenback raid", mentions publishing problems regarding "Stuart's Cavalry in the Gettysburg Campaign", Mosby refusing to include his memoirs in the publication contract as he will not write under contract. He adds: "You observe that their reader says that it is a valuable historical document but lacks the romantic element. Of course it does because it is all true." Excellent content.
