I am deeply interested in rescuing my brother from all connection with the rebellion, in which he has so unfortunately and . . . reluctantly, become involved, and in reclaiming the relative on whose support and protection, now more than ever needed by me, I have relied for years past. . . .

``I beg you to present my appeal to the President. . . .'' (DLC-RTL).
