TimesDis-patch of Oct. 1, 1905, justly finds place in the Southern Historical Society Papers.—Ed. Richmond, Va., September 27, 1905. Editor Times-Dispatch, Sir,—I have just read the late General Sorrel's charming Recollections of a Confederate Staff Officer, and desire to correct an error in regard to myself, into which the writer has inadvertently fallen. On page 107 the impression is made on the reader that I was on duty as General D. H.
