Thomas Jackson was Martha Schofield's maternal uncle. He praises Schofield for the work she is doing in the South and is pleased to hear that she refused to shake the hands of Rebels. He condemns all the Rebels and the "arch-traitor" Andrew Johnson. He also discusses conflicts in Europe that he fears the United States will be drawn into. He says he was of the first settlers of California and promises to tell Schofield about his "adventures to this far off land" when he sees her again. He briefly discusses his time in the West Indies and interactions with the freedmen there. He also talks about a lengthy lawsuit he is involved in against "Rebels" regarding a land dispute. He talks of his adoration for Anna E. Dickinson and is impressed that Schofield has met her.
