Written as Brevet Major General. Getty encloses an unspecified item, and requests that General Patrick, Provost Marshal General in Richmond, send the item to a niece of Mrs. Getty (Elizabeth Graham Stevenson). Notes, "Her mother, who is with her is a sister of Mrs. G and of Brig Genl. J.D. Stevenson of the Union Army. As they are now without a male protector I beg that you see that they are not harmed." One bust engraving of Getty included as collateral.
