nt's business relations with Gould at that time warranted him in making the request. He did apply to Gould, who referred him to Dr. Norvin Green, the President of the Western Union, as well as of the Cuban Telegraph Company. General Grant made the application to Dr. Green, who paid no attention to his request, and the place with its powers and appurtenances remained in the hands of an Englishman. New York City, Dec. 11th, 1882. My dear General Badeau,—I have your letter of the 1st instant, enclosing one from Hughes and also your previous letter. I did not write to you before because I expected to see your Vice-Consul, Williams, but he has not called on me yet. Of course I will help you if I can to obtain the appointment you ask. In regard to the matter Hughes speaks of, I wrote the letter he requested long ago, just after you spoke to me about possibly the second time, and in time I should think for them to have received it, and informed their father before the date of hi

th the young lady and her family,—father & mother, sister & four brothers. We expect them to spend the winter with us, & as Mr. Sartoris & Nellie will be here in January, we will have I hope, quite a gay household. Buck is in a law office in New York City, and is a student at the same time in Columbia Law School. Jesse entered Dear Badeau,—I would advise that you drop a private note to Asst. Sec. Hay saying that you would like to have your leave extended to about the 20th, or last of Jan. to insure getting your book in the hands of the printer before leaving. I will be going to Washington on Monday the 13th inst. and will speak to Hay, or Evarts, ting the winter he was again in New York, and again assured General Grant that I should receive the Italian Mission, but I did not approach him at that time. In January, however, I went to Washington, and he received me by appointment in the evening. Again he promised to nominate me to Italy, but he said there was a difficulty a

, & Fla. With best wishes for your welfare, Yours Truly, U. S. Grant. Letter no. Seventeen. This letter, as the date shows, was written shortly after the inauguration of Hayes. As soon as Grant went out of power I wrote to him, to show and to say that my regard was as great as when he had been President, and the letter that follows was his reply. He was already planning his European tour, and I had invited him to make my house his home as long as he remained in England. In February, General Horace Porter, my successor as his private secretary, visited me in London, and brought me word that the General could not accept prolonged hospitalities, but would like to join me in a mess at my house; and I consented. When he wrote this letter he expected to go direct to me. Washington, D. C., Apl. 23d 1877. Dear General,—I have just received your letter of the 24th of March, and have before me the chapter on the Petersburgh Mine explosion which I will read so soon a

vor of my views, but the Administration took a course diametrically opposite to that which I proposed. The result was the Spanish Treaty, which was so universally condemned by the country, and so ignominiously defeated in Congress in 1884. The postscript refers to an article on General Sheridan which I was writing for The Century Magazine, and which I had read to General Grant. Indeed Grant furnished some entirely new and very interesting material for the article. New York, October 25th 1883. Dear Badeau,—I have your letter of yesterday. I write because of your allusion to hearing a rumor that Blaine and I had formed a combination politically. You may deny the statement most peremptorily. I have not seen Blaine to speak to him since a long time before the Convention of 1880. We have had no communication in writing, through other parties nor in any direct or indirect way. The republican party cannot be saved, if it is to be saved at all, by tricks and combinations of

er no. Nineteen. The last part of this letter refers to the assertion made by a prominent American that I had not been authorized or invited to accompany General Grant on his tour, but had thrust myself upon him. Warsash, Oct. 5th 1877. Dear Gen.,—I enclose you two cards of invitation to the Merchant Tailors' feast which you may accept formally. I have already informed them informally, in reply to a note sent to ascertain if I could attend, that I would be in London on the 18th of Oct. My plans from now until we go to the Continent are about complete, and if you will be kind enough you may arrange accordingly. On Monday the 15th we will be in London: on Wednesday, the 17th, I would like to go to Birmingham to return the next day evening. On Saturday—the 20th—we go to Brighton to be the guests of Capt. Ashbury until the following Tuesday. We then return to London and will go to Paris on the 24th. I am amazed at what you say about . . . but are you sure he has ma<

he chapter in my History in which I described Grant's life at City Point.—The remarks about Japan were no more enthusiastic than his conversation always became whenever he spoke of his visit to that country. The impression made upon him there was more vivid than in any European or Asiatic region. He never tired of describing the courtesies he had received, or the character of the inhabitants and the marvelous advance in their civilization within so short a period. Tokio, Japan, August 1st 1879. My dear General:—Your letter enclosing the within chapter reached me in the interior of Japan—at Nikko—just the evening before I started on my return here. The chapter is so personal to myself that I can say nothing about it. But I have corrected two or three little errors of fact. My visit to Japan has been the most pleasant of all my travels. The country is beautifully cultivated, the scenery is grand, and the people, from the highest to the lowest, the most kindly and the mo

l Grant. Only a few days later occurred the failure of Grant and Ward. During the winter the editors of The Century Magazine had requested me to write an article on Grant's personal characteristics so far as they affected his public career. When I consulted them in regard to this paper, they renewed their endeavors to procure a contribution from himself. I was living out of town at the time and he wrote me this note in reply to the message of the editors. 3 East 66th street, June 4th 1884. Dear General,—I do not feel now as though I could undertake the articles asked for by the Century. Possibly when I get to the country I may feel differently. But I would not have the Editors of the Magazine delay on such an uncertainty. When you come to the city we will always be glad to see you. Very Truly Yours, U. S. Grant. Gen. A. Badeau. Letter no. Ninety-eight. In June General Grant finally began the preparation of an article on the battle of Shiloh, and showed i

ence to Commissioners. Finding that we were about to separate without coming to an agreement Bowen—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 Comte de Paris above given. He also refers to my account of the explosion of Burnside's Mine at Petersburg. While I was at Rome with General Grant I was laid up for a week or more with a lameness in a wounded leg. I had not been able to obtain a room in the same hotel with him, and he came to see me and sit with me daily until I recovered. During this period I wrote a letter to t
