Grant, Secretary of War, ad interim. No. Four. Edwin Booth to General Grant. This is the letter referred to in Chapter XIII, on Grant in the Cabinet. Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, Sept. 11th, 1867. Genl. U. S. Grant, Sir,—Having once received a promise from Mr. Stanton that the family of John Wilkes Booth should be permitted to obtain the body when sufficient time had elapsed, I yielded to the entreaties of my mother and applied for it to the Secretary of War—I fear too soon, for the letter was unheeded if, indeed, it ever reached him. I now appeal to you on behalf of my heartbroken mother—that she may receive the remains of her son. You, sir, can understand what a consolation it would be to an aged parent to have the privilege of visiting the grave of her child, and I feel assure<

tween the Chinese and the Western powers, and had he lived he might have initiated a policy of importance to the world and of especial advantage to this country. He visited first the United States, and then England, France, Prussia, and Russia, but at St. Petersburg his career was suddenly cut short at its very meridian. His death was a loss to modern civilization. While in this country in 1868, he established relations with General Grant that were unusually cordial. Upon the death of Rawlins he was very desirous to enter Grant's Cabinet, and, as I was then returning to America, he commissioned me to say to the President that he would willingly resign his diplomatic position for the sake of a place in the United States Government. But Grant appointed Belknap. headquarters Army of the United States, Washington, D. C., Dec. 28, 1868. Hon.

s this terrible step determined. The question of belligerency is the most difficult of unsolved questions in International Law. When Wheaton wrote and died, next to nothing was known on it. No rule had been established; no rule is established now, unless the English precedent be accepted as a final expression of the law. This I think bad for the peace of the world, and for International Law. Talk with Mr. Bemis on the friendly character of that concern. He knows its history. I never saw Mr. Seward more like a caged tiger, or more profuse of oaths in every form that the English language supplies than when prancing about the room denouncing the Proclamation of Belligerency, which he swore he would send to hell. To my mind the best point in his whole prolonged service at the State Deptartment was his persistency in holding England responsible for the Proclamation. I never thought him judicially clear on the question whether the Proclamation alone was ground of damages or the Proclama

New York City, Dec. 22, 1881. J. H. work, Esq.,—This book was revised by me, chapter by chapter, as it was being prepared for the publishers. It was submitted for a similar review also to Generals Porter and Babcock, two of the staff colleagues of the author. In addition to this, all those chapters treating of events in which Generals Sherman and Sheridan held detached commands were submitted to those officers. The author had access to the Government and captured and purchased archives. He also r

He died in 1886, full of years and honors. The article referred to was written by me and published both in England and America. In England, it was signed; but Lord Halifax had evidently not seen the foreign publication. Hickleton, April 22, 1870. dear General Badeau,—When I wrote to thank you for sending me a number of Harper's Magazine, I had not read the article in it on Our Relations with England. I do not know whether I am warranted in guessing who the author of the article is, but whoever he may be, everybody who is anxious to promote harmony and good feeling between our two countries must be deeply indebted to him for so valuable a contribution towards furthering an object so essential to the welfare of both. I confess, however, to being somewhat disheartened by the account given in the article of the

General Badeau to Mr. Burlingame, Chinese Minister, etc., etc. This letter, like its predecessor in this series, was written by the direction of General Grant, then President-elect; and of course was submitted to him before it was sent. Burlingame had originally been United States Minister to China, but resigned that post in order to accept a roving but important commission, that of Chinese Minister both to this country and to the prominent European Governments. It was his object to establish more intimate relati of a place in the United States Government. But Grant appointed Belknap. headquarters Army of the United States, Washington, D. C., Dec. 28, 1868.
