Mr. PETER PARKIsoy JUN. -
Your communication to the undersigned.
asking what recollected about those eleven
men who stlrted from Fort Defiance to bury
the dead at SpaG'ord's farm, in 1882, was du-
ly received. l recoIlect that, when the ex-
press arrived, it was about shutdown, or after.
After l had arranged the matter of express TO
Col. Dodge, Immediately commenced max
ing arrangements to send a reinforcement to
Fort Hamilton, and to assist ia burying the
dead at Spaf'ord's field. There were many
who volunteered 10 60. At the same time
there were several men there from the mount
ed company, with Mai kirkpatrick, or at
forwards Maj kirkpatrick J Lieut., Bracken
and Second Lieut.. Parkison We're among the
number who volunteered to 90, and all the
mounted men who were with Maj. kirkpat-
rick, / believe consequently, those mounted
men came there commanded By their own Of
fcer. and neither Lieuts. Bracken nor Parks
on could have any command over them
Lieut.. BrackeH certainly was the officer who
held the rank at the Fort; consequently,
would have had the comm and, but l think
there was some dissatisfaction am @ng the men
who were preparing to 60, think, about
who should command them. Lieut.. BrlcGen
started off with one man, think, and he was
one Of the mounted men. l think about half
an hour after Lieut.. Bracken left, the rest Of
the squad started, with dissatisfaction about
the command before they got OF, request
ed Maj. kirkpatrick to take the command !;
and he did take the command as far as
knew.

Bennett MILLION.

From the above communications, il will be
perceived at once, that these gentlemen, (who
certainly have no interest in the matter, as
between Mr. Bracken and myself, and who
could only wish that Justice should be done,
and that history should be correct) sustain
nav memory almost fully. in every particular,
wherein disagree with Mr.. B. Hence.
should think, from such testimony as this,
there could be no reasonable doubt as to the
facts in the case.
I regret exceedingly, that I have been
brought into this cross-questoning with MF.
B., against whom ] certainly entertain no un-
kind feeling, and whom certainly would not
intentionally misrePresent l only wish that
justice should be done to all parties concern
ed, and that proper impression should 60
abroad, and down 10 posterity.
/ did not like the impression to 60 abroad
or down to posterity, that Gen. Dodge and
his comrades in arms, did upon that occasion.
and in two instances, Turk in the rear, ard
permit Lieutenant B. to forward and encoun-
ter the enemy single-handsd and alone
(Which impression Mr.. Braeken's account
certainly conyeys-)
Ia looking over my account Of that affair,
/ perceive that l did, in one place, speak of
+ Lieutenant Bracken as Second Lieutenant
which was a mistake, and it would evidently
appear to the most careless reader, that tn,
mistake was Inadvertently made. Mr. Brack
en- claims, in his account Of that affair, 10 have
/ been second in command at Fort Defiance
! which ! did not dispute, bat only claimed
that he did not 90 IN command of the detach
nent, sc. Hence, having Mr.. BrackeD il
my lnind as second in command at T OFT Def
ance, It vas easy for me to quote hir as Sec
ond Lieutenant, when I should have quote,
him as second in command. But, for this mis-
take, Mr. i. condemns my memory, as cnti
