The Confederate Spy

October 27, 1923

          Hello.  My name is Henry T. Harrison.  I was a famous Confederate spy for General James Longstreet.  I was born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1832.  I wasn’t always a spy.  I started out as an actor, but when I turned 29 I enlisted for the Confederacy.  In the military I started as a private in the Mississippi  State Militia.   But in November I decided to become a spy for the C.S.A. Secretary of War.  In the Battle of Suffolk, I met General James Longstreet and ended up serving for him for four years.  One of the greatest things I ever did was telling General Lee that the Union were heading back north out of Frederick, Maryland, which started the Battle of Gettysburg.  After Gettysburg, I decided to head up north to New York and gathered intelligence and got married to Laura Broders.  After the war, I moved our family to Mexico.  My wife and I had a fight, so I left her and the children to go to Montana  to search for gold.  She eventually thought I died so she married another man.  After no luck searching for gold, I moved to Cincinnati, Ohio and then later to Covington, Kentucky.

          That’s my story.  But I have bad news.  I’m going to die tomorrow.

          Whoever finds this give it to the government.
