friendship was greatly strengthened by their intimacy after the war had ended. The following is General Rosser's answer: Charlottesville, November 23, 1899. Major E. A. Richards, Louisville, Ky.: my dear Major,—I saw a great deal of Custer while I was constructing the Northern Pacific R. R., in the Northwest, in the seventies, and had many talks over the war with him; and he often stated that he was in no way responsible for the execution or murder of those men. I have no doubt of Custer's innocence, for he was not in command, and his superior officer was present; and it is not probable that such a matter would have been turned over to Custer under the circumstances. Yours most truly, Thos. L. Rosser. This statement of General Rosser, supported as it is by the official record, seems to me to be conclusive, and the future historian must exonerate General Custer from the responsibility of the Front Royal tragedy. E. A. Richards. Louisville, Ky., November 30, 1899
