". . . If to have fought in the Confederate Army is a ban, then Mooman's claim is out - for he was a Confederate officer. But I met him in 1863 & 1864 under flag of truce, - also many times since the Civil War - and I honestly believe he will fulfill any office of the U. S. in the strictest sense of honor and loyalty."
