Louisville KY 11 May 1866

Still entertaining for you the admiration & love which every Confederate soldier feels for his great & noble chieftain I beg if willing to do so, you will give me an autograph written previous to April 1865, or such other memento of the Confederate States existence as is your pleasure to convey. I am,

with great respect

J. F. Heun
