Pass] in Reedy Fork, N.C. to his dearest, likely his wife Mary Franklin Pass in Faison, N.C., regarding treasonous activities occurring in southern Guilford County, N.C and upper Randolph County, N.C. The Tories and [Ganders?] are described roaming the area committing acts of depredations, employees of the railroad are thinking of quitting in protest of the war, and the Quaker and abolitionist Frank Caldwell's activities are mentioned.
