Mr.. Stephens esteemed the General, felt sure

Your letter Of the 18th OF May, iuciosso TO
ne By General L0ngstreet ia which you ask
q few words from inregard to my esti-
mate OF the late Alexander II. Stephens,
reached my office during my absence ia the

my Office but three or four days, and finding
"a accumulation Cf letters, which | an not
vet through the disposal CT is my apology for
not answering yOu st an earlier day. never
had the pleasure OF personal acquaintance
with Dir. Stephens until he with Mr. Hunter
and Judge Campbell, visited my headquar-
tiers at City Point Va, during tae last year
OF the Civil War. l had, however. known
him by reputation for many years aud placed
a high estimate upon his character and
ability as well as statesmanship. Oar per.
sOpat acquaintance, l0OngQ We diner 81
widely in tiers affecting our common
country, only served to increase my admiIa
ton for the man. As l understood, with
out being man OF large means,
he devoted largely from what he
could earn to ''ihs greatest good of the great
est number" Through him many deserv.
ing young man has found the means of ac-
curing fine education to give hum start
in the world, and in most cases. If am cor
reclly informed he has been compensated
for his generosity by seeing those who had
these faYors conferred do honor to their
benefactor.
I'm all his public utterapces Mr.. Stephens
impressed me as a man who was never afraid
10 speak his honest convictions without re-
gard as to whether they would be popularity
received or not. To the day of his death
retained the high estimate of his life and
character formed before l knew him, in
creased by personal acquaintance, Very
truly yours, y. S. GRANT"
It may be said that two copies of the above
letter exist, both in the hand Of the great
General, and that the second one was made
with rare delicacy, seemingly to correct the
iDsdvertsnt use of the word rebellion"
which was corrected in the second copy to
read civil war"
