- Hamilton Rowan Gamble Papers | Letter signed Hamilton Gamble, Rolla, to Father. I write by this mail to the Adjutant General, stating my inability to do anything here. Whenever I am ordered in from here I will need some more money. I will need about $5 more to pay expenses. There is such a feeling of distrust in the minds of the refugees here that it is difficult to persuade them of soundness of my proposition. I will try to get one company organized and provided with arms, clothing, etc., in hope that their suspicions may be removed when they see it is not all humbug. A good many of the refugees are going back home, determined to take their chances among the secessionists, or I interpret it, to become secessionists themselves. (2 pages and envelope), 1861 Dec 3
