To Captain Terrence and Major LefRngwell,
who in their desperate desire to make case for
themselves and victim of me, asserted the
nonstrous and palpable written falsehood that
vas furnished with "a pass from the enemy,'.
whcn all they could ind on my person was let
,er of int, oduction from my next door neighbora
10 his brother.in.law in Nashville, which might
,ave been of service in case was assailed in
my way by Southern troops, I can only say, that
We shall in all probability meet again, should my
ife be spared, when they shall be called to nc.
,ount for this transaction.
To Capt. Granger, of the Arsenalin this city;
md Dr.. Wagner, Surgeon Of the same, my warm
hanks and profound gratitude are due 70: kind
reatment when my Case became known to them;
likewise to George Partridge and Taylor BLOW,
ssq'rs, of this city, for their kind efforts in my
,ehalf
To the numerous friends who called upon me
Turing my brief sojourn in your city, can only
Iope that We may meet agais under happier and |
more peaceable auspices.
As this little affair has cost the Government |
hundred or two dollars for nothing, damaged
ne infinitely, privately, and ruined my health,
through exposure and i'll treatment, Gen. Fre- |
mont, it is understood, has determined that in |
II similar cases hereafter, the officer perpetra-
ing the outrage shall be made to pay all expen-
es arising therefrom. 1t is great pity such an
rider was not made long ago, as too maay such
have already taken place.
