To my Friends and the Public:
Since my arrival in this place, 1 have
learned that certain reports, detrimental
to my character and honor as gentleman
and soldier, have been circulated by some
designing person or persons, with view
of injuring me in the estimation of friends
and the public generally. Below will be
found Capt. Flanagan's s letter to me, which
clears me IN toto of his or their nefarious
charges. I am concious of having infict-
ed injury on no one in the army or out of
it, and had 1 done so, the army was the
place to punish it, as the regulations and
discipline of the army are very strict
against evil doers. But they failed to
find grounds to prefer charges against me
there, and, like ignorant and dastardly
towards, they threw out their hell-born
insinuations among their friends at home,
in order to destroy my reputation, we'll
knowing that "evil reports" Jose nothing
in being told, be they true or false.
The consciousness of having done right,
and the approval OF my commanding
officer, afford me more pleasure than
their slanderous falsehoods can possibly
give me pain. think that [ am possessed
of some of that spirit which is said to
elevate mortals to the skies, while I hope
that have none of that other spirit that
would drag angels down. would to
heaven that my heart and conduct were
laid open and written upon heavens blue
vault, that my friends and enemies might
there read and be convinced of the recti-
tude Of my intentions and conduct, while
in the army and elsewhere. In conclusion
[ have only to say to those envious NOR
tails who have tried to injure ne, that
their efforts to do so will in the end be
the means of bringing them into disre-
pute, and the injury which they intended
to infict upon me will, in due time, fall
upon their own guilty heads.
