HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AR
MY, WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 8.-The
Hon. J. d. DalaeA, Caldwell, O.-DEAR
DALzELL: AS you request in your letter
Of Oct, 4th, | return herewith the letter
of Thurlow Weed, which you ought,
of course, to preserve. How Mr.. Weed
was instrumental in bringing me back
to the military service in 1860 am, of
| course, unable to say, but his statement
with reference to his Intervention with
President Lincoln and Secretary Cam
erOn Is all news to me. / cannot recall
ever having met with or seen him till
| long after the War was over. [ have
great respect for the old gentleman, but
am reminded of the infirmity of age by
his laying down my route from Atlanta
to Richmond as through the States of
Tennessee, Arkansas, Mississippi, and
the Carolinas. That surely would have
been swing around the circle. I am
sure appreciate the partiality of friends
such as Thurlow Weed and others, but
am more and more convinced each day
that this world. will move in its usual
orbit; that man is mere atom of little
influence; that each year and each
epoch creates its own agents; that the
great men of 1776 were not suited to
1912; that these again fell short in 18-
46; and these in 1861. Each epoch calls
for new agents, and should the year
1900 call for new men, the Grants,
Shermans, and Sheridans will fail as
signally as did the St. Clairs and Hulls
of 1912, the Woods and Worths of 1876
AS long as our country is in the ascend
ant, statesmen will arise equal to any
occasion, but when the time comes for
a decline, then no personal effort will
avail or succeed. Ohio has succeeded
Virginia. Now look out next for Iowa
and California. You seem to be gath
ering data of the past Better the
present and the future. Always wish
ing you all honor and success in the
careerof your choice, am, with re-
speet, your friend, w. T. SHERMAN.
