Washington, November 20, 1868
DEAR SIR: Your letter Of ths 18th has been received
in which you inquire whether any documents
| cessibe will be likely 10 be published by our
Government relating to the exchange Of prisoners Of
and you justly remark that the subject excites deep in
terest in consequence of the sufsrngs Of in
Richmond.
The correspondence published in the Richmond papers
does not IL is thought present the matter D s true light
In few days the entire correspondence will be made
public here by authority.
There are several serious difficulties in the way Of con,
tnung exchange OF prisoners One is the bad faith Of
the enemy putting into active service thousands
Of paroed prisoners captured at Vckburg and
without releasing any Of lders held by them. But
another difficulty Of still graver Importance s the per-
and their iohie officers upon any terms uhaterer 1t well
known that they have threatened 10 sell cooed captured
soldiers into slavery, aud to hang their white officers
The Government demands that all officers and soldiers
should be fairly exchanged otherwise more prisoners
Of will be given up. The faith OF the Government is
pledged t. these officers aud troops that they shall be
protected, aud it cannot and will not abandon to the
savage cruelty of single ohcer or soldier
who has been called defend the dag of h country
aud thus exposed to the hazards Of war.
1t has been suggested that exchanges might 90 on until
all except colored trUups and their white officers have
been gwen up But If this allowed The rebels would
not only be relieved Of the burden of maintaining our
troops but they would get back their men, retaining
their power the very persons whom solemny
bOund rescue and upon whom they could then without
fear Of retaliation carry into execution the nhuman cruel
ties hey have basey threatened.
The President has ordered that the stern law of etaa
ton shall without hesitation be enforced to svenge the
death Of the first Union soldier of whatever color whom
the enemy shall in cold blood destroy sell into slavery
All other questions between us may be postponed tor
future settlement but the fair exchange Of cole red sol
drrs and Of their white officers will he insisted by the
Government before smother rebel soldier officer will be
exchanged.
The suerngs of our men in Richmond are the subject
Of deep regret and sympathy here and there has been
want Of Effort to afford all possible relief
