Grimes's Life, by W. Salter, p. 369. Two days later it appeared in all the leading journals of the principal cities of the country.

Frelinghuysen, ex-senator; E. D. Morgan, former governor of New York; John H. Clifford, former governor of Massachusetts; John M. Read, the jurist of Pennsylvania; and James Russell Lowell.

His conversations, guarded with no privacy, abounded in still more offensive imputations; and he went so far as to prepare a bulky manuscript to exhibit the incapacity of the head of the army.
