Adam Badeau, Grant in peace: from Appomattox to Mount McGregor, a personal memoir, Chapter 36: (search)
Chicago, at the home of his son, Colonel Grant. At Chicago, I saw him constantly, either at Colonel Grant's house, or more frequently at General Sheridan's headquarters; for his son was on Sheridan's staff. I accompanied him on a visit to Elihu B. Washburne, and dined with him at the house of Russell Jones, his former Minister to Belgium. Both these gentlemen were avowed supporters of General Grant, and in their presence conversation was unrestrained, and the prospects were discussed as freeder of his life he remained more than grateful to the men who supported him so faithfully at Chicago, just as he never forgave any who he thought betrayed him at that time. He never afterward spoke except with bitterness of his lifetime friend Washburne, who, he believed, I know not how rightly, had played him false; and he remembered the violence of some who supported Mr. Blaine with an acrimony that was not confined to them, but was extended to his great rival. Even former followers who di

that Young's publication of table talks will add many thousands to the number of readers of your book. People will look to that as the authentic views which I entertain. The other will be looked upon as hastily noted recollections of what was said in conversation without the data at hand to speak with entire accuracy. I shall remain here some eight days more and then in Salzburg for ten days or more. My next address after that will be in Paris though but for a short time. I wrote Washburne a letter telling him the outrageous stories ——had told me about him * * * * Very Truly Yours, U. S. Grant. Gen. A. Badeau. Letter no. Forty-three. This letter continues the supply of information Grant was furnishing me in regard to the history of Sherman's March to the Sea. I had written for an explanation of certain dispatches which he could not recall. It was a singular situation: he was writing to me from Paris, Rome, Egypt, and from Swiss villages, accounts of his instruc
