War Date Letter Signed with rank, October 16, 1861, probably to Colonel J.H. Lane, “When at Drywood I captured a number of prisoners belonging to the state of Kansas. I released them all. At Lexington I released a large number, the officers upon parole. Having so done I confidently relied upon pursuing the same course with regard to citizens of the State of Missouri. You have as prisoners Messrs, Rosser and Harris; also a soldier captured at Drywood. Young Rosser has never been in the ranks of the army in any way. I will give unconditional release for any Kansas officers you may designate for these or for any others you may have in your command. I am respectfully, S.Price, Major General, Commanding.” Clean, 1p, minor tape repair at fold.
