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

Unsigned letter to David K. Pitman. Regarding abolitionists, etc. H.R. Gamble expresses his opinion that slaves should not be emancipated after the war: “I look with anxiety to the action of Congress. If the abolitionists shall be able to carry through the two Houses their scheme for turning the present war into one against slavery as an institution the question will be one of the greatest magnitude to the country whether the President will have the firmness to breast the current.” David K.

Gamble answers him: “I need only say to you that I have done what I could to obtain the same permission from Dr. James Wilson since Dr. Ben left, but have not succeeded.” Individuals mentioned include Dr. James Wilson.
