George Wright to Albemarle Cady, February 28, 1862

Lieut. Col. ALBEMARLE CADY, U. S. Army,

COLONEL: There are several newspapers published within thiS department which are filled with abuse of the President and Government of the United States. It is quite enough that these libelers should be permitted to print their traitorous sheets without receiving the aid of the U.S. mails to send them abroad. I will thank you to serutinize the papers published within your district, and if you find them disloyal and treasonable send me copies, and I will have their circulation through the mails and post-offices prohibited.

Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
