MEMPHIS. TENs., July IS, ls72.

nh MEMPHIS. TRIM. July Is, 1877.
How far friendship and gratitude
should prompt me to answer statements
made against Colonel A. p. Curry which
| / know to be Incorrect, have not con-
sidered; but as one who has been often
befriended by him, feel it a duty to
make the following statement;
have known Colonel A. p. Curry
since 1862. He was at that time cap
tain in the Tenth Missouri cavalry
white regiment He enlisted as a pri-
waite in the Thirteenth Illinois (white)
regiment, and was promoted for gal
lantry as captain in the above named
cavalry. While captain he was bre-
vetted as lieutenant colonel for gal
lantry. He retained his position as cap
tain in said Tenth Missouri cavalry un-
til he resigned in 1864. This was the
only official position he held during
the war. After his resignation he COM
menced business in Memphis, and was
appointed colonel Of the first regiment
of the Memphis militia, 2 white regi-
ment, composed of the business men
and mechanics Of Memphis. In no way
was Colonel Curry connected with any
other military command. During the
war his efforts were to make the burden
as light upon the Southern people as
possible, and discharge what he con-
sdered to be his duty. My own expert
ence is but the experience of several
others as regards Colonel Curry. AS to
myself, l was arrested three several
times as a rebel citizen-once for oppos-
ing the United States Government, once
as a secession guard to go on rail
road train to protect it from being fired
into, and once as an enemy outside OF
the lines, and paid fine of five hundred
dollars. / mention the charges, as it
was impolitic at that day for Federal
soldiers or citizens to aid people charged
with such offenses. Colonel Curry, how
ever, in all those cases, acted as friend,
and with others secured my release, and
he did the same thing for several other
citizens well known as sympathizers. OF
the South.
When Colonel Curry was Sheriff of
Shelby county was with him in the
Office He gave me instructions to be-
friend the citizens of Memphis as re-
CARDS to business with the office in any |
way that could, and properly discharge |
the duties of the same. 1t was his own
rule of action. AS far as | know he
never used his office in political way,
by importing voters or otherwise, and
fully believe that he did no such thing.
While he was Sheriff know that an eff
fort was made to send for the "Tennes-
see militia" to quarter them in Shelby
county, for alleged insubordination at
Collierville, Cuba, etc. | know that
Colonel Curry wrote letters and went to
Nashville to prevent it, and ! believe
that it was through the efforts of him as
Sheriff that the misfortune was averted.
This much have felt it duty to say.
Ny only regret is that it should bring
my name before the public.
Yours, respectfully.
A. j. WHEELER.
