I am still unable to leave the house, but hope to be well enough to see you in a few days. Will you please ascertain from the proper authorities what form of deposition will suit them ? whether notice [etc]. must be given, as in civil practice, or whether mere affidavits will do. I fear my health will not permit me to go to Richmond, as I would otherwise gladly do. If you will send instructions by my son, who hands you this, I will write at once. Please let my son make copies for me of the two oaths which were sent down. ?ǣAn act to prevent treasonable correspondence ? was approved Feb. 25th 1863, as appears by a reference to it in military commission proceedings reported in the Republican of the 8th inst. See some important suggestions there in same connection. Truly yours, Edward. A. Lewis. Title: Letter signed Edward A. Lewis, St. Charles, to Messrs.
