each other's adverse convictions, and had become the exact exemplars of the many shades of honest, patriotic Unionism so clearly described in 1863 by President Lincoln in his letter to a delegation of partizans who had not learned that principle of charity which seems to have been born in the great martyr of freedom. Would that I could do fitting honor to the names of those patriots, nearly all of whom have gone to their rest, including Dr. Elliot, President of Washington University. James E. Yeatman, President of the Sanitary Commission, still lives to honor his country and the great cause of humanity of which he was the faithful and efficient servant. I did not meet Hamilton R. Gamble until after he had become governor. I shall have occasion to say more of him later. He was the foremost champion of the Union cause in Missouri, and the most abused by those who were loudest in their professions of loyalty. Of the younger generation, I will mention only one, whose good deeds woul

, to-morrow, or next month, the battle of Wilson's Creek would not have been fought. On August 9 General Lyon received a letter from General John C. Fremont, then commanding the department, which had been forwarded to him from Rolla by Colonel John B. Wyman. The letter from General Fremont to Colonel Wyman inclosing that to General Lyon appears among the published papers submitted by Fremont to the Committee on the Conduct of the War in the early part of 1862, but the inclosure to Lyon is wColonel Wyman inclosing that to General Lyon appears among the published papers submitted by Fremont to the Committee on the Conduct of the War in the early part of 1862, but the inclosure to Lyon is wanting. The original letter, with the records to which it belonged, must, it is presumed, have been deposited at the headquarters of the department in St. Louis when the Army of the West was disbanded, in the latter part of August, 1861. Neither the original letter nor any copy of it can now (July, 1897) be found. It can only be conjectured what motive caused General Fremont to omit a copy of the letter from the papers submitted to the committee, which were at the time strongly commented up

of the day for the Fourth Army Corps, issued by General Wood after a personal interview with General Thomas ts will follow each division. By order of Brigadier-General Wood: J. S. Fullerton, Lieutenant-Colonel and me to Grant about Thomas. See page 296.) General T. J. Wood's report, dated January 5, 1865, after descrietween his right and my left. This appears from General Wood's report to have occurred a short time before no the general plan of operations for December 16. General Wood's report does not suggest that even he, who had n about any such general plan; and that statement of Wood's, the general plan of the battle for the preceding bout noon, the troops on my left (Generals Smith and Wood) having advanced and come in contact with the enemy s by General Thomas himself, though spoken of by General Wood, in his confidential letter of the 14th to Thomance which was called that day upon the suggestion of Wood in that confidential letter, and, as he said, at the

s to extend the line to the river on the right. Fortunately the natural position was such that Kimball's division of the Fourth Corps was sufficient, leaving both Wood's and Wagner's in reserve. I then gave my undivided attention to the means of crossing the Harpeth River. Two days before I had telegraphed to General Thomas sthat had been done, my trains could have passed over at once, and the entire army could have crossed before Hood reached Franklin. To meet this greatest danger, Wood's division of the Fourth Corps was crossed to the north side to support the cavalry in holding the fords above, if that should become necessary; while Wagner's dive line upon which the enemy would have time to make a heavy assault that day. This provision for an ample reserve had been made after full consideration and before Wood's division was ordered to the north side of the river, which was after the day was well advanced and the enemy's cavalry had begun to threaten the crossing above.

Stanley's two divisions (Kimball's), and had suspended the orders for Ruger's division to march to Spring Hill. When the decision was reached, I put Kimball's and Wood's divisions in position between Duck River and Rutherford's Creek, and Ruger's north of that creek, to resist any attempt the enemy might make upon our position. owing to Stanley at Spring Hill: near Columbia, Tenn., November 29, 1864, 10:45 A. M. Major-General Stanley, Commanding Fourth Army Corps. General: General Wood's reconnoissance shows a considerable force, at least, on this side of the river. I have halted Kimball's division this side of the creek and put it in positi came in sight of that place late in the afternoon. That position would have been secured beyond doubt until the next morning. The other two divisions (Cox's and Wood's) would have withdrawn from Duck River and marched to Spring Hill early in the afternoon, before the enemy could seriously interfere with them.

wenty-five miles south of Nashville. Very truly yours, U. S. Grant (per Frank F. Wood). New York, February 23, 1884. Gen. John A. Logan, U. S. Senate, suggested that my corps should support Smith instead of remaining on the left of Wood. To this suggestion General Thomas readily acceded, and orally authorized me toill mass the remainder of his force in front of the works and cooperate with General Wood, protecting the latter's left flank against an attack by the enemy; but in hy parlance, meant placing my corps in reserve, with a view to cooperate with General Wood, etc., whenever such cooperation might be necessary; while the words used in Thomas's final report meant active cooperation with General Wood from the beginning of the engagement. In the body of his report General Thomas spoke of the positioght, if possible, be expedited.
