Now here's Lyman, Lyman, being a volunteer aide, was not eligible for a brevet. said he, looking like Mephistopheles in good humor, he has no brevet, but I am going to write to the Govern bed; thus missing a letter home to you. However, I have not before missed one in a very long time; and, if I followed Duane's advice, I should miss much oftener. Lyman, says this ancient campaigner, you are foolish to write so much.

It is not unusual for two friends, when disagreeing about the mode of conducting a common concern, to separate and manage, each in his own way, his separate interest, and thereby preserve a useful friendship, which without such separation would infallibly be destroyed. Letter to Theodore Lyman, Life of Cabot, pp. 445, 446. Such were the views of an undoubted patriot who had participated in the formation of the Union, and who had long been confidentially associated with Washington in the administration of its government, looking at the subject from a Northern standpoint, within fifteen years after the organization of that government under the Constitution. Whether his reasons for advocating a dissolution of the Union were valid and sufficient, or not, is another question w

there. I found the ambulance waiting for me. We drove to General Meade's quarters, and found Brigadier-General Williams, his chiefof-staff, and also Lieutenant-Colonel Theodore Lyman, a volunteer aid, who holds a commission from your Excellency of assistant Adjutant-General of Massachusetts. General Meade was not in his quarters, and I did not see him until my return. I stayed nearly an hour with General Williams and Colonel Lyman, talking about our troops. They are both against raising new regiments, until those in the field are filled up. The men of our Massachusetts regiments and batteries stand at least as high as any in the service. I obtained herertance of filling up the old regiments; more men are wanted, our lines are so greatly extended; necessarily so. Here I again met Brigadier-General Williams and Colonel Lyman, and, after a short conversation, parted with them, and passed on to the Yellow House, which is the headquarters of General Warren, commanding the Fifth Corps.
