In this one-page, handwritten letter, Warren Hubert Moise corrects a statement made in a previous letter—that is, that Edwin Warren Moise (b. 1832) of Sumter, South Carolina, had been attorney general of the state. He had heard E. W. Moise referred to as "General Moise," and assumed that, since Moise was a lawyer, he had been attorney general. [Hubert was not far off: E. W. Moise (b. 1832) was elected Adjutant General of South Carolina in 1876 under Wade Hampton, hence the moniker "The General."]

Moise concludes the letter by speculating on the location of "Uncle’s portrait" by Paul Edouard Poincy, whose name he misspells "Poincie."
In this one-page, handwritten letter, Warren Hubert Moise writes to Marion Cobb Gerdine, thanking her and her husband, his nephew E. Warren Moise, for a book they sent him as a Christmas gift. W. H.

Mrs. Clay "had been a leader in prewar society in Washington" and after the Confederate surrender was sent to the capital to use her influence to try to improve conditions in the South and, in particular, "those surrounding Mr. [Jefferson] Davis during his incarceration at Fort Monroe."
