referred to was W. F. Smith. Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Oct. 23d, 1870. Dear Badeau,—I am in receipt of your letter in which you speak of the article you propose writing for the British press, and of getting something from Sheridan to aid you in preparing it. I have rec'd but one letter from Sheridan since he has been with the Prussians. It is probably too late for that letter to be of service to you; but I send it. It will at least interest you.—I also send you a review Sheridan since he has been with the Prussians. It is probably too late for that letter to be of service to you; but I send it. It will at least interest you.—I also send you a review of the reviewer Adams, by Senator Howe. The Adams' do not possess one noble trait of character that I ever heard of, from old John Adams down to the last of all of them, H. B.—In writing your second volume I would advise to steer clear of criticisms of persons on account of your personal acquaintance. For instance you know personally much more of Butler, Meade and others, against whom prejudice may exist, than any one could learn from any authentic record. I would give them all the credit th

I never all rancor was past; although he believed that Butler had said as offensive things of him as any of I sent him the pages of my history describing Butler's campaign on the James he wrote in some curiohe army to command his corps, in the hope that Butler would avail himself of their talent and experi For instance you know personally much more of Butler, Meade and others, against whom prejudice may ehended in New York by the Government, and General Butler was sent to that city to assist in maintai this statement but Rawlins's declaration that Butler had so assured him.

sident was to appoint an hour when he would receive the present of a Bible. March 4, 1869. Dear General,—Mr. George H. Stuart is one of a committee of three, the other two being the Chief-Justice and Senator Frelinghuysen, who desire to pre, with a Bible. They will wait on you whenever you say—except that the Chief-Justice must be at the Supreme Court, and Mr. Stuart leaves town to-morrow night. If you will send word to me what hour will suit you, I will let Mr. Stuart know. Mr. StuMr. Stuart know. Mr. Stuart proposes to-morrow morning before ten o'clock, or if the court does not meet till eleven, before that time. With great respect, Your obedient servant, Adam Badeau. The President of the United States. The bearer will wait for an answer; if Mr. Stuart proposes to-morrow morning before ten o'clock, or if the court does not meet till eleven, before that time. With great respect, Your obedient servant, Adam Badeau. The President of the United States. The bearer will wait for an answer; if you are out he will still wait till your return. P.

as sending to me. To General A. Badeau, U. S. Consul General, London, Eng. I return Pemberton's letter. Your statement of the circumstances attending the Vicksburg surrender are as absolutely correct as it can well be made. I presume Bowen did ask the interview between P. and myself without authority. I did not propose or submit to the settlement of terms by a reference to Commissioners. Finding that we were about to separate without coming to an agreement Bowen—who seemed very aBowen—who seemed very anxious about an agreement—proposed that he and others of the Reb Army, and Gen. A. J. Smith and some others of our Army who were present at the time, should consult and see if they could not agree upon terms which Pemberton and I would accept. I declined that and the terms were finally arranged between us through a correspondence which extended late into the night of the 3d of July, 1863. U. S. Grant. Letter no. Thirty-six. With this letter General Grant enclosed the reply to the Com<

Mr. Marsh, the incumbent, was old and infirm, and had long been unable to perform his ded to nominate me to Italy, but he said there was a difficulty about removing Mr. Marsh, who was the friend and relative of Senator Edmunds. The President, however,ter. But I think I would see the President and if he is not inclined to remove Marsh I would suggest the Consul-Generalship of Paris or London. There may be some he. Mr. Edmunds still supported his relative, and I at no time suggested that Mr. Marsh should be requested to resign; nor did General Grant, on my account. Finallyr season was past, and I remained at the North during the summer. In July, Mr. Marsh, the Minister to Italy, died very suddenly, and General Grant at once wrote tm. Mr. John Astor told me that when he read the announcement of the death of Mr. Marsh, he exclaimed: Now General Badeau will get his mission. Mr. Arthur wrote the
Baden (search for this): chapter 50
-Lord, of New York, the Marquis of Hertford—all entertained him; and everybody of any consequence in London called on him. The Provost of Eton invited him to lunch, the University of Oxford offered him a degree; and the City of London presented him with its freedom. Early in July he visited Belgium, and afterward passed up the Rhine to Switzerland and Northern Italy. At Brussels, Frankfort, Cologne, Geneva, and Berne he was the object of public or official courtesies. The Grand Duke of Baden invited him to his villa near Constance, and Garibaldi sent him a message of welcome while he was at Varese. At Ragatz I left him for a week to arrange for his tour in Scotland. The Dukes of Sutherland and Argyll had asked me to bring him to them if he went as far north as their seats of Inverary and Dunrobin, and I now wrote to them to propose his visits. In a few days he arrived in England and at once went to Edinburgh and the Highlands, even extending his trip to John O'Groat's House

of this letter is to the account of Early's failure in Sheridan's campaign in the Valley, in my Military History. The long interval between this letter and its predecessor makes me believe that some of General Grant's communications miscarried. He was at this time hardly ever a month without writing to me. The reference to the British Government has been explained in Chapter XXXV. Nagasaki, Japan, June 22d 1879 My dear General,—The two enclosed chapters were received at Tientsin China just on the eve of my departure from there, so I brought them here to mail. The last chapter I think is one of the best in the book. It shows Early in an unpleasant light and shows the Southern character—for lying—as it should be shown. I have no corrections to suggest in either chapter. My visit through China was a pleasant one though the country presents no attractions to invite the visitor to make the second trip.

ought proper to endure as a nominal inferior. More than all, he wanted to enter upon his new functions with men who had not been complicated by their past relations, especially in the very positions which cabinet ministers would hold. Had both Seward and Stanton been more personally intimate with Grant, or had their fitness for their posts been still more marked, I doubt whether he would have sought an association with either of them when he became President. But this implied no failure to agreat era developed, the positions they occupied, the achievements they performed, the ambitions they cherished, and how almost invariably their careers came to a disastrous close, the littleness of worldly success is terribly and sadly taught. Seward, Chase, Sumner, Stanton, and Greeley all aspired to the Presidency, and each died without reaching the goal, each under the shadow of defeat and disappointment; while others on the national side, like Johnson, Hancock, and McClellan, failed of an

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 instructions to Sherman and Sheridan, his own battles on the James, and the strategy in Georgia and the Valley of Virginia, and always insisting that I should do full justice to his great lieutenants, even at the sacrifice of some of the credit that was often ascribed to himself. No reader can have failed to remark the magnanimity toward Sherman and Sheridan which these letters display;— letters written to fix, so far as he was able, th<
