Benjamin Rush Plumly informs William Lloyd Garrison that the "True Delta" is publishing his editorial on General Banks, and that it should be available on the morrow. Plumly declares that he has "said to the General a hundred times" that Garrison would "see the truth thro' all". Plumly describes the conditions obtaining as "very rough", and states that there is "one universal cry" amongst the men to see the return of General Banks. Plumly asserts that the military has "done all they could to destroy the Free State" in occupied Louisiana. Plumly encloses a series of resolutions he had penned which were subsequently passed in the Legislature, and asserts that they have beaten down the forces of oligarchy and military dominance
