Content
Hobson has made a true copy of a proclamation made by the Confederate Guerrilla L. P. Deatherage and added his own note to the proclamation. The proclamation states that the rebels are fighting for their freedom and that they alone are responsible for their actions and that anyone molesting their relatives and property, while they are doing so at risk to their own life. Hobson's note after the proclamation states that Deatherage and his band of 25 guerrillas are murderers and robbers and should be treated as such.
