Letter signed J.P. Sebree to Col. Elliott. I find that corn has advanced from fifty cents to a dollar and one half. Talked with a good many stock men, and their opinion is that there is not corn enough in Morgan and Sangamon Counties to feed the stock already here. I am now in Jacksonville and will stop the mules in this neighborhood for a few days. Individuals mentioned: May Burton, Elisha Brown, and Capt. John H. Lewis. Places mentioned: Springfield and Jacksonville., 1862 Nov 30
