Jones</a> Chief Counsel Civil War Revenue Cotton Tax Claimants 516 North Seventh Street Muskogee, Oklahoma May 9th, 1927 Dear Sister Sarah: I first must thank God that you are spared to me to write to me for yourself. I am delighted to have your letter, for it is a little more in detail as to the happenings in that distressing time. I can but Thank God that you are spared to me, for remember you are all that is left for me. I know your children have the first claim on your affections, but remember I have a brother's claim which blooms forth from the days of infancy. We have never been apart in spirit, and just to have you alive is a blessing valuable and dear to me. I did not know where to make inquiry after reading of the distress and when I wrote that letter to you in Greenville, and I was so distressed I did not know what to do until I received your letter in reply to mine. Now you are located with Callie, and I know she will do her share for making you comfortable. Your children are a joy to you, and it is a delight to me to know of their devotion to you. You must let me keep in constant touch with you, and do not get tired of writing me all the details of those days when ever you think of something you felt out in the last letter. I want to know what you may know from time to time of the old friends and neighbors white and colored alike, for I sent Red Cross money the day I wrote you first, and have sent more since, and will send more again soon, and expect to keep contributing as long as there is suffering among the people there in that valley section. I am so glad I have means to aid with, and I care very little for the means I have except to help the suffering and distressed among all the people. I heard of death of Harry Small, Kate Lewis, Florane Goodrich, Henry King the grave digger, and Emma King and Lavaina Okelley. If you hear of any other losses, write me the names of them for God knows I am sorry to my heart for that distress among the people. I keep up with the reports from that section every day and will continue to do so as long as information from there will be of interest. I hope Nezzie and her children will do well, but you did not say what their plans might be after the fall of the water. I asked you to tell me your plans regarding your home, and the location of the children for the future. I am glad you are pleased with the outlook there, and likewise I am glad Estella and her husband were prepared to comfort you as they did. When ever you may feel like writing, remember it will be a joy to me at all times. Mrs. Bowers is delighted to the extreme to know of your escape with your life, and she asks to be kindly remembered to you and also extend her regards to Caldonia with best wishes for happiness of all. I received a letter from Quincella last Saturday saying she had a letter from you giving her some details, and she is just delighted to have as good report from you as she has. When we know that water 10 feet deep in her house, and 9 feet deep in yours, give the ideas of the extravagant losses we must be prepared to hear of. Write of all the people you may think of from time to time, and I will, keep you posted with such information as may come my way from time to time. Wishing you and Caldonia the best of health and happiness, I close. Your brother. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/cornelius-j--jones--issaquena-">C. J.

Jones</a> Chief Counsel Civil War Revenue Cotton Tax Claimants 516 North Seventh Street Muskogee, Oklahoma September 28th, 1928 Dear Sister Sarah: I write this letter to let you know I did not forget what day the 25th of September was. I remembered how we used to squabble over your Birth Day cake on that day long long ago. I did not forget to mention it at my home here and how pleasant my memories drifted over those fleeted years, and how I gave God the praise that we have been spared for the long period of time, while we can remember how many of those who mingled with us in our childhood, have been called to the Bar by the Master. He must have left us here to do a service which has not been accomplished, and if so, let us seek to serve the mission whatever it may be. I am sending you one of my late pictures as my gift to you, and while I know it is not up to date now to have pictures hanging around in some places but for me, I make society and society does not make me. I have pictures hanging in my home, and I mean to keep them around when they are pictures of those I reverence. Let me know how you like it, and remember it is all the living remnant of our once large family, including yourself. I am mailing the picture under separate cover in this mail. Mrs. Bowers asks to thank you for words of kind remembrance, and she wishes to be remembered herin also. She also sends her best regards to Caldonia. I send her my well wishes also, and hope for her every success in her line of service. I had a nice letter from Quincella lately, and she says she heard from you recently. I had a letter from Estella last few weeks past saying she was in splendid health likewise her family. I have not heard any word from Greenville for a long time, and should you have any news from there let me have it, for I am deeply interested in all our dear old friends there. Well politics are active and most every person is seeking to do the best he or she thinks to vote right. I do not take any part in politics now, except to vote and express my own choice for president. I am for Alfred E. Smith. Hoover does not come up to my choice of a man for the greatest office in the world. I am not going to canvass for Smith nor for any one else; but I am going to vote for Smith for he has proven a man of ability and executive experience, and these are the chief qualities the people of this country needs for our chief executive. I am in best health I have ever been in, and hope this letter will find you the same. Your brother <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/cornelius-j--jones--issaquena-">C. J. Jones</a> P.S. Sister; I just had finished this letter and laid it down to take to the office to get it insured, and your letter came before I left the house. I see you remembered that day also. Yes I feel like we have so much to feel thankful for. I often wonder myself at the degree of blessings the Lord has shown you and me. I am 70 years, and every body seem to wonder how is it I look the years of youth I appear. I never feel a pain, and I place this condition to the fact I lean dependingly on God for my guidance and support. Yes I remember old Bill and the sled we rode in those gone by years. I recall all those days, and what a delight it is to realize these days we are spending on the River Side. These are not our days; we have passed our lot of days, and we must be living out those days our kinsfolk left behind, for beside mother, we have lived passed the days of all who have gone before us. They are better off no doubt, but God has so shaped our fate, that we both are living in comfort and in great peace of spirit. Write me all the news from the old South, and remember me to Callie. Tell me. Is Fish Tale with you, or is she at home again. I see you mentioned her in your letter. Yours as ever Y. B.

I hope this letter may find you in splendid health, for it leaves me just fine. I am enjoying best health since I have been a man. I wish the best health for Callie, and likewise the other children when you heard from them last. I also write to say that the white claimants made another break for that money last week or so ago, and your old brother was Charlie on the Dot, and I met them on the swing on fourth of this month, and nothing is to be done until they count us in it. Sister, I pray every day and get such wholesome inspiration from prayer that God makes me just a dominator over Satan, and I am not afraid of old Satan than I am any other old drag Nasty. I am his Boss, for in God's name I move every day and in His presence there I shall triumph in every contest. I am so glad you are in such happy surroundings, and we both are vastly fortunate to be children of His love and guidance. Let me hear from you at any time and let us enjoy these days in as much peace as possible, both in body and spirit and daily prepare for His coming for us. I do not mean that I am tired of serving the place He established me in, here on earth, but to the contrary, I mean to rejoice in His wonderful mercy and love and thereby live in happiness here preparatory for living in happiness over there. Be good and cheerful. Mrs. Bowers sends her best regards to each of you, and she too asks to assure you of her hope and determination to serve properly the mission of a useful life to all.

McLeod</a>, (colored), at the Recent Emancipation Celebration in Aberdeen. The following report of the address of Hon. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/murdock-m--mcleod--hinds-count">M. M. McLeod</a>, of Hinds county, on the occasion of the Emancipation Celebration in Aberdeen on the 8th of May, has been prepared at our request, and will be read with interest by intelligent men of both races: After the address of Mayor Love, Hon. <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/murdock-m--mcleod--hinds-count">M. M. McLeod</a>, of Hinds county, who had been chosen as the Orator of the Day, was introduced, he said in substances that the event commemorated to day, has completely changed the status of a race, and entirely altered the policy and political action of the greatest Republican Government that ever existed in the world. In what he would say on this occasion, he would not attempt to follow in the beaten path of those who have delivered orations and written essays on the great theme of the emancipation of the slave; and while not wishing in the least to abate the praise and gratitude due to Mr. Lincoln, and the great men whose advice and counsel supported him in issuing that great State paper, that made free four millions of slaves, yet by the light of the history just prior to that act and by the events which had transpired, he would assert and by citations of history sustain the assertion, that the cause of the issuance of the proclamation of emancipation was a MILITARY NECESSITY. Authors and speakers, too, had with much of sentiment and eloquence, claimed that philanthropy and humanity generally had much to do with it, but the history of the events of that day and time, flatly contradicted them, and if that history proved anything it was that, "it was never dreamed of" that an emancipation, sudden, complete and without pecuniary compensation to the owners of slaves, would ever take place. The speaker then went on to show that the secession of the States that went into the Confederacy in fact changed the relations of the Federal Government towards the institution of slavery; he read extracts from the first inaugural address of Abraham Lincoln, also the plank in the platform of the Republican party in 1860, stating the exact position of the party, and the President elected by it in reference to slaves, showing them to be pledged to the enforcement of the fugitive slave law and protection of slave property in States where it then existed. Referring to the history of the war during the time prior to the issuance of the proclamation of warning - September 22nd 1862, which gave 100 days notice to all concerned - he read extracts from the message of the President; Report of Secretary of War to Congress; General Orders in the field by army officers, such as Butler, Fremont, Hunter, etc., also the orders of Lincoln modifying and repealing the military idea on the subject of emancipation, together with the reply of President Lincoln to a public letter of Horace Greeley about the attitude of the administration in the matter of emancipation, the speaker argued that some gratitude was due to those on the other side who fought with Lee, Jackson, Hood and Johnston, so bravely and determinedly for a right they believed they had, and thus created a military necessity, which forced the issuance of a proclamation to free the slave, as a war measure. The idea of the South that the freedom of the slave was in the nature of a calamity, had been lived down. The prosperity of the race numerically, materially and in an intellectual view were then advanced. The prosperity of our State and the peaceful relations between the races here, was said to be the task left to the sons of the old master and the old slave. The contrast between free labor and its results as of to-day, and slave labor of a generation ago was made and presented elaborately. The educational needs and the work done in that behalf by his race was referred to and a glowing compliment paid to those of the North, who were contributing money to advance education of negroes in the South, in this connection the speaker referred to the Blair bill which recently passed the Senate and eulogized the Senators from this State, not only for their votes, but for their eloquent and masterly speeches in advocating it. The Oration was concluded with a forcible appeal for the two races to work together in the material upbuilding of the South, and the advancement of their moral condition, it being a joint labor, in which mutual results beneficial in their nature must follow, etc. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
