The Daily Dispatch: September 28, 1861., [Electronic resource], article 15 (search)
ff. Thompson with a sword and pair of pistols, in response to which he sends the following characteristic letter. Gen. T. and his faithful old ally, Indian John, were both in Memphian Wednesday: Headquarters 1st Mid, Dist. S. M. G., Camp Belmont, Sept. 20th, 1861. Gentlemen: A few Memphis Patriot: Your kind and appropriate present of a sword and pair of revolvers, by the hands of my old schoolmate, Charley Stephenson, is received, and I sincerely thank you for the gift and the compliment. I have heretofore had to fight the enemy with my pen and tongue, but with borrowed sword and pistol. I can now let in on them in the good old fashioned way, and hope that in the next ten days I can prove the metal of the sword and range of the pistols on the Northern vandals, or more despicable Union men of this State. Whenever I shall draw the sword or aim the pistols, I will think of the unknown donors and strike for the "few Memphis Patriots." Yours, etc., M. Jeff. Thompson.
