Sir From testimony deemed by me reliable I learned yesterday that in an address lately made in Southern Ills by an Ex-Member of Congress the representation was made that in Washington at the present time no less than 40,000 "Contrabands" were subsisted and clothed at Government expense. Now a statement coming from a source so high where the individual is supposed to know the facts would tend to influence mischievously a large class of our citizens who have no correct means of obtaining the facts, thus I felt it my duty to communicate with you after having advised with some of your friends in Washington putting you in possession of the facts which you are at liberty to use as you may deem the best for the cause of truth & justice. The facts are as follows: On the 16th of last June I was appointed by General Wadsworth as Superintendent of the "Contrabands" at "Duff Green's Row" Washington where I found about 400 persons young and old. Since my appointment up to the present time no less than 3,600 "Contrabands" of both sexes and of all ages have passed through my hands. Of the above number all but 675 have gone out either to <hr /> do for themselves labor in private families or work for the Government. The 675 (our present number) includes 120 who have been sent us from the various Military Encampments in and about Washington and from the hands employed by the Quarter-Masters and Commissary Departments and are sent us for medical treatment. Then we have about 20 who are employed at 40 cts per day in the service of the Camp. Besides this quite a number of the remainder go out during the day to wash for the sick Soldiers at the Hospitals and returning to their families at night in the Camp. This leaves a small balance of those too old and infirm for profitable labor, or too young to go to service and even the mothers with their large and dependent families, have husbands in the Army or Navy and have been sent to us for protection and sustenance while their husbands are employed by our Army. As to clothing the Government has not at any time furnished these people with clothing, not even blankets except in a few cases. Northern benevolence through the National Freedmans Association and The Colored Contraband Relief Association, have thus far furnished the clothing for these destitute ones. Thus we see in the light to these facts that all the cry raised by Alarmists about "Contrabands" being a burden to the Government is all in the execution of the fancy of designing politicians. Then again the cry which is so often raised by these same designing men that the North will be crowded with "Niggers" and that the poor whites will have to suffer a consequence is alike without a foundation for while applications are daily made by persons from all of the Northern and Western States and the most liberal offers of pay made to these people, if they will <hr />consent to go, yet not one in a hundred can in anywise be persuaded to go North. Thus when the question of Government burden for 40,000 Contraband is considered in the light of truth, it is reduced to 400 while the thousands of those whom some have hoped to see emigrating to the North and West go into the column of Units. The thousands expended by Government for clothing the "Contrabands" turns out to be just nothing and the "idleness" spoken of is in the light of truth speedily converted into erecting fortifications diligent and laborious toil in all the servile departments of Government- No instead of these people being a drag on the hands of the Government, 10 could be today employed while we have but one to furnish. Yours respectfully D. B. Nichols, Superintendent of Contrabands at Camp Barker <hr /> D B Nichols. Contraband Dept. Camp Barker Washington D. C.

Liverpool, April 28, 1865. Sir: At the usual weekly meeting of the Cotton Brokers’ Association of this town, held this morning, the appalling assassination of the late President of the United States, and the atrocious attempt on the lives of Mr. Secretary Seward and his son, were the theme of unanimous execration and abhorrence. I have been requested to convey to you, as the representative of the United States at this port, the expression of the deep sympathy and condolence of this association, in common with the country at large, at a calamity so awful and which has impressed our body with the strongest feelings of profound regret and indignation, as well as of commiseration, for a people with whom we are so closely allied in the bonds of good will, as well as in the daily business of our lives. I trust you will favorably receive this imperfect assurance, that in the terrible blow which it has pleased God to inflict on your great nation they and you have the utmost possible sympathy of the members of our association, both individually and collectively, In the absence (from ill-health) of our president, Edgar Musgrove, esq., I beg to subscribe myself on behalf of this association, with all respect, sir, your obedient humble servant, D.
