Brookville American, November 20, 1846

Friend Clarkson-There is but little security in this place. On the evening
of our arrival we lost one of our sergeants who was murdered in one of the
restaurants for his money, but he had none by him. His name was Phillip
Love of Columbus. A fine, peaceable fellow. He was killed by two Americans
who have been arrested and sent to New Orleans for trial. This, however, is
a common thing.
