Marietta, Ohio September 30th, 1894
To his Excellency,
The Governor of Alabama
Dear Sir:
During the
war of the Rebellion in January 1864 I was taken a prisoner of war and about
Feb. 1864 I was taken to Andersonville, GA. where I was confined until Sept.
1864. In a few weeks after I reached Andersonville, Lewis Jones, a private
of the 26th Alabama secured permission to take me on
the outside of the prison on condition that I would beat the drum for the 26th Alabama on "guard mount" dress parade & while they
would remain at Andersonville on duty. Mr. Jones took me to the camp of
the 26th and explained to me the conditions on which
I would be put on "Parole of Honor" and given certain liberties. I refused
to accept the conditions and Lewis Jones gave me something to eat and put me
back in the stockade explaining to me that he had no authority to keep me out
only on condition to which I have referred. They soon succeeded in getting
a good drummer and fifer out of the stockade that did the work I refused to
do. I was a small boy having enlisted when I was four feet in height and
only thirteen years of age. In a short time Lewis Jones came to the
stockade and took me out and made another proposition to me. He said he
had secured permission to take me out of the stockade and that he was
responsible for my safe keeping. He took me to the camp of the 26th Ala. and I slept and ate with him, and he took me
hunting and fishing a time or two. I do not recollect his company, (it's Co. "I") but there were five in his mess and I made
six. We ate together, and I had nothing to do but behave myself and not
run away. He was very kind to me and said he interested himself in my
behalf on account of me being a mere child and that seeing me a prisoner of war
had aroused the tender feelings of his heart. In that mess of six was a
brother of Lewis Jones who was a Lieut. in the company to which Lewis
belonged. In a few weeks the 26 Ala. was
ordered in to active service again and during all the time until they took their
departure I staid in camp with Lewis Jones and he treated me, and cared for me,
as if I were his own child. Before they left he went to Captain Wirz, the
commandant of the prison, and arranged for him to keep me at his office and run
errands, and not put me back in the stockade. I staid with Capt. Wirx a
good while, but one day he flew into a rage and put me back into the
stockade. When I tell you that I went into Andersonville with nineteen of
my company and I was the only one to reach home alive you will readily see how
Lewis Jones saved my life. The better treatment at Wirz's office and the
kind treatment from Lewis Jones, and it was all due to the efforts of Lewis
Jones, built me up in health so that I was able to live through it.
Lewis Jones saved my life.
When you were in Marietta,
Ohio a few years ago, returning a flag, you were at the home of Genl. Rufus R.
Dawes of that city. I was relating this incident to Genl. Dawes recently
and he said it would not surprise him to learn that the Lieut. Jones to whom I
have referred was none other than the present Governor of the State of Alabama,
and he urged me to write you a letter to ascertain if you are Lieut. Jones of
the 26 Ala. and where my friend Lewis Jones can be
located. I have never seen or heard of Lewis Jones since he waved good bye
to me on the cars at Andersonville Station. He may be in heaven long ago
for no other place would be fitted for his generous soul. Although I have
always intended to try to locate him this is the first effort that I have made
in that direction. Do me the kindness to favor me with a reply and I will
very highly appreciate it. I am 45 years of age I was a private and
drummer in Company "I" 10 W. Va. Vol. Inft.
very truly yours, R. T. Powell
(Governor Thomas Goode Jones was not the Lt. of
Company I, he was in another Regiment. Lewis
James Jones' widow Sarah Elizabeth Jones applied for pension in Lee County,
Mississippi in 1913 and 1924.)
