Dear Richard,

Thank you for this terrific letter.
I have just sent you an electronic
copy of Dyett v. Turner.  Begin reading
where "General Lee had surrendered ...."
This is the cat's meow concerning the
so-called 14th amendment.  I will send
you the rest of the important historical
cites on the failed ratification of this
botched amendment.
