File Name	Q21651 - Q21654
Item Title	Letter from J. Gayle in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to John Coffee.
Description	In the letter Gayle discusses former Governor Moore's response to Coffee's recent correspondence; Moore denies Coffee's account of a conversation regarding the conflict between him and Colonel John McKinley. Gayle feels that his "retraction is a most perplexing one" but suspects that Moore is reacting defensively: "...having commenced in error, he thinks he has gone too far to retrace his steps." He suggests that Moore defeated McKinley in the senatorial election because he promised his support to certain congressmen who were trying to defeat a piece of legislation: "It is entirely obvious that it was understood by the friends of Mr Lewis, of Congress that their vote for his excellency, for the Senate, was given with the expectation of being aided in defeating the Coosa Canal memorial; and they have not been disappointed, for if you will examine the vote on both questions, you will find...it the same with a few exceptions." Gayle also mentions that Moore "has marked me out for his next victim, but it gives me not the slightest concern."
