I went to Joseph & showed him the Litter [Letter] I got from Gen Demming & Told him what had Passed & the Threats that had been Mad[e]. he re[a]d the Letter & Told me about the committee Going to him in Iowa saying that he had always said he would stand by them ontill death but now as the Woolf had come he left the flock for the W To be destroyed. he remarked I could not stand such Language as that & said If the People do not want me to Live for their sake I do not want to live for my own. he said he told them he would go back & dilevr himself up & go Like a Lamb to the Slaughter.
~ Stephen Markham
