'Dear Mr. Cook; I am very glad to give you such assistance as I can in your search for original portraits of Stonewall Jackson, and enclose four from my collection. Perhaps some of these are new to you. I should be glad to have you return them when you have made your comparisons.; The one, of which you sent me a copy, is printed from a negative that was made by Brady probably during the war, the uniform being added to an earlier picture. The portrait showing him with the uniform of a First Lieutenant is a copy of the daguerreotype but I am unable to give further history of it. The other two, in the uniforms of a Brigadier and Major General, you doubtless know.; I should be very glad to see your book on the family and early life of Jackson.; Very truly yours, F.H. Meserve.'
