5-28-1863 p4. P.S. I just received your letter of the 25th saying you were afraid to ask Mr. Cannon about my case for fear he would answer, \u201cHe had forgotten me entirely.\u201d
\n\tIf you fear of getting such an insulting reply as that, please don\u2019t even mention the circumstances to him again. I suppose he thinks I ought to have called on him while he was here. The reason I did not was because I did not know he was here at the time, and if he was to come again, I wouldn\u2019t call on him if I knew he was in the next tent.
\n\tI know I can do more by applying to the Secretary of War, through Judge G. P. Fisher, but I don\u2019t care about applying personally to any one, besides, I don\u2019t care about applying to him, for anything else, for he has done enough for me already.
\n\tI think I could get off by asking Mr. Smithers to aid me in Washington, but I did not feel like it, he hadn\u2019t forgotten me, although it had been nearly two years since he last saw me.
\n\tIf Governor Cannon thinks I\u2019ll get on my knees and kiss his foot, because he is a Gov., he is considerably mistaken. If I had known when he was here, I think I certainly would have called on him, not because he was Gov. Cannon, but because he was a citizen of Delaware.
\n\tIf you haven\u2019t said anything to Gov. Cannon, please don\u2019t say anything to him to get an insulting reply.
\nYour Son, W. J. F.<\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":1496,"height":2377,"file":"5-28-1863-p4.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-189x300.jpg","width":189,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-189x300.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-768x1220.jpg","width":768,"height":1220,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-768x1220.jpg"},"large":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-1259x2000.jpg","width":1259,"height":2000,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-1259x2000.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"5-28-1863-p4.jpg","width":1496,"height":2377,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/5-28-1863-p4.jpg","filename":"5-28-1863-p4.jpg","filesize":926489,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8608","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8608"}]}}
