Hampton's Cav. <br />Dw Jany 21, 1864 <br />Sir<br /> Major General Hampton directs me to acknowledge the receipt of your favour of 20th last and to say that he would have replied in person, but your note was received, as he was on the point of starting for Richmond. The General directs me to express his appreciation of your views and his approval of the position taken by yourself as to citizens, crossing the river. The orders are strict as to granting permits to pass our lines, especially at this time, the direction, given to the Provost Marshall to refer to you, was to provide only for cases of obvious hardship to well known citizens, residing in the immediate vicinity of Fredericksburg, and was not intended to cover all cases of loyalty. The privilege, if abused to the profit of individuals using it for purposes of speculating Traffic would be withdrawn altogether. All persons not known to you as being so situated as absolutely to require a permit to cross, will be referred to the Secretary of War or proper authority in Richmond. You will please communicate with the Provost Marshall these directions, in case he has not received instructions from Brig Genl Young in order that you may be saved unnecessary annoyances. <br />I am Sir with much respect y<br />our Obedt.

Title A name given to the resource Slaughter Letters Description An account of the resource Welcome to the Montgomery Slaughter Letters. A few facts are worth keeping in mind as you browse the letters. Only one letter in this collection was written by Montgomery Slaughter himself, an 1862 letter he wrote to a Union general during a Federal occupation of Fredericksburg. The other letters were either addressed to him, or were forwarded to him due to their relevance to the matter of relief for the citizens of Fredericksburg following the destruction inflicted on the city in the wake of the December 1862 battle. With those facts in mind, happy reading!
