James T. Fields — 16 Jan. 1862

To JAMES T. FIELDS
January 16, [1862]

Mr. Fields

I think you are right about John Lamar—Won’t you do something for me--if you think it quite proper? write a note on my behalf to that clergyman and ask him for the notes of the sermon for me to read. I would like to see it very much, and will return them to him

Yours always beggingly

R——

Wheeling Jan 16.

Always remember, first and last, and all the time, that my grand petition is, when Margret is out to keep my name out of the papers. You will take care of that—will you? Please?
