Written in camp near Knoxville. General Hazen replies to a letter from Southwick, in Albany, New York. Writes, "I am greatly pleased that the Subject of the Genls. of the Old Federal Army will at last receive the attention it deserves. Genl. Moses Hazen of that Army, was a brother of my great grandfather, and resided upon Grand Isle in lake Champlain, which island he owned." Refers Southwick to Mrs. Moore, of Plattsburgh, New York, and [Doct?] Satterlee, of the Army, stating that these individuals may be able to provide him with further information on Moses Hazen.
