this interview was with Col Jennings & me on Tuesday 2d May 1865 / G. A. Pillow
abandoned the Idea of hiring my hands & so had promised me
he would not hire them, but in having an interview with Pillow
he changed his conduct but did not hire them but agreed they
might remain there & work the farm as it was for the benefit
of Pillow as much as him Col Jennings wholy disclaims any
intention upon the part of any of them to interfear with Anthony
& Jim I fully believe that G. A. Pillow is the cause of it
all, as well the bad feelings that has been brought about. I
am fully satisfyed of this matter, & that he is a decitful
two faced cowardly scamp (& piticoat redden) unworthy of the
friendship & favour I have showed him
