John M. Schofield, Forty-six years in the Army, Chapter V (search)
generous friendship and confidence which he ever afterward manifested toward me, and which, with the like manifestations of approval from President Lincoln, are to me the most cherished recollections of my official career. The appreciation of my action in Washington was expressed by General Halleck in a letter dated July 7, 1863, in which he said: The promptness with which you sent troops to General Grant gave great satisfaction here; and by the President himself, in a letter to the Hon. Charles D. Drake and others, committee, dated October 5, 1863, in which he wrote: Few things have been so grateful to my anxious feelings as when, in June last, the local force in Missouri aided General Schofield to so promptly send a large general force to the relief of General Grant, then investing Vicksburg and menaced from without by General Johnston. It would have been impossible for me to send away more than a small part of those troops if I had not been able to replace them by Missouri m

If an answer or explanation is on any account desirable, I shall be glad to make it.

one of whom, I believe, failed to call at the office and express a kindly welcome; and that one was so great a man, in his own estimation, I flattered myself that was the only reason he had not called to greet me. So when I returned to St. Louis in March, 1869, the good citizens of that place gave me a banquet and a most cordial welcome, in which all participated, save one, of those who had seemed to be my most bitter enemies in 1862 and 1863. It was especially noteworthy that the Hon. Charles D. Drake, who had been chairman of the large delegation which went to Washington, and one of the recognized leaders in the movement, to obtain my removal from the command in Missouri, was among the most cordial in his expressions of esteem and regard from March, 1869, up to the time of his death, at which time I was in command of the army. But his principal associate, the Hon. Henry T. Blow, could not forgive me, for what thing especially I do not know, unless for my offense in arresting a loy
