April llth, 1928.
Dear Sir-My recollection Of the date at which
the English account of the signature Of the treaty
of Client, was brought to New Orleans, carries
1T to the eighteenth nineteenth of February,
1915.
l was sent TO the British fleet to treat for the
exchange OF prisoners, about the first Of February
and was detained there until the fall OF Fort Bow
yer; just as l was leaving The Adnrals ship, the
Drazcn, sloop OF war, came in sight; and remain
cd until she came up. She brought the first news
OF The treaty, and arrived with it at New Orleans
OH the 18th or 18th.
My recollection Of these dates is strengthened by
That ol gentleman now viSitcr at this place. who
accompanied nue. OH the mission. The account
brought by the Brazen was Gazette, not an otii-
cidi account OF the treaty, and ought perhaps TO
add, that very soon after receiving this account,
General jackson wrote either to Gen. Lambert or
10 Admiral Cochrane q think the former) request
ing 10 know whether he considered the account
suthcientiy authentic, to justify cessation of hos
Utilities, TO which think no answer was received
until after the eighth Of March, when advices were
received 10 induce the General to believe, that
the treaty had been ratified at Washington al
though even then he had received no dispatches
from The Government announcing that event.
hope this may be satisfactory answer TO your
note Of this date,
And am with great respect,
Your most ob't serv't.

18th April, 1925. (
Dear Sir have received your note OF this date
requesting me to state all may know, in relation
10 the execution Of the e" six militiamen" ut Mo-
bile in 1915
In answer l have TO state that Joined the ar
my at Mobile, in command of battalion of the
9Th Regiment United States infantry, about the
10Th OF December, 1914, General Jackkon being at
That time engaged in the defence of New Orleans.
The situation OF the army at Mobile was most cri-
teal. he troops, chiefly militia, suffered much
from the scarcity and want Of regular supplies of
provisions. The enemy some time after tho bat
tie oil the Sth OF January, made his appearance in
the bay, and took possession of Dauphin's Island.
we expected an attack daily Subordination in
our camp was all-important for our safety We
could but take retrospective view Of the dcspe-
rate mutiny, which had but short time before ia
Ken place at Fort jackson, and to dread its re-
currence in our camp. 1t was at this awful cri-
SIS that General Jackson's order re- ched us ap-
proving the execution of the six militia men y
me officers conversed freely of the example then
about TO be made. But one sentiment prevailed
All were deeply Impressed with the belief that il
was OF vital Importance TO the subor,l;Iation and
public safety of the army, and thought the time
propitious Tor the execution. For myself | have
always thought the example most fortunate one
both as regards the discipline of the army, and the
safety oil the country.
l was looking on when those unfortunate man
were executed, conversed with them few mi
nutes before their execution IN company with Col
Gilbert e. Russell. They spoke fcclingly of ,i.eir
approaching fate, but without blame to any one
but those engaged in the mutiny. AT the time
they were executed, we had no news or expecta-
ton OF peace. L remained myself in camp until
after the news OF peace arrived, and never heard a
murlnur OF dissatisfaction. There were present two
bTigadcs OF Tennessee militia, many of them no
doubt neighbours 10 those men,sI yet not one word
OF complaint was heard, either against the Court
Martial That tried them, or the commanding Gene
raj that approved the sentence. All agreed in its
necessity and Importance. The effect produced
on the army by this example was evident; the
arictest subortiinaon prevailed; every officer and
soldier did his duty, anu we were relieved from
any apprehensions OF mutiny in our camp
am very respectfully,
Your ob't servant,

Dear Sir-Beeving that without subordina,ion,
an army is inefficient, and dangerous rnly to lis
friends, and that, TO enforce it, examples are
sometimes in ispensable, and knowing that you
were in the service Of the U. States, during the
late war, we are induced to ask whether YOU
know OF any executions, by sentence OF courts
martial, during the war, either of regulars or mi
iIa, and, if so, under what circumstances and un-
der whose command,
Latteriy, much has been said relative to six or
seven soldiers executed under sentence of courts
IN atrial i'll that division Of the army commanded
by General jackson, for the purpose of exciting,
unjustiy, the preudices of his countrynen againai
him. We are perfectly satisfied that General
jackson did nothing more than his duty required,
and cur object is making this inquiry of you is not
to impute censure to any other officer, under whose
command executions may have taken place, but
TO shew, If such be the fact, that Others as well
general Jackson, have been constrained for the
public good TO let the laws have their effect A.
ganst those convicted OF crimes, which if passed
over with impunity must have rendered the arm Y
worse than useless We will feel obliged By as
early an answer as may suit your convenience
