New York, Feb. n. - The North
Amsrican RepieH for March contains a
bag letter from General Sherman to
Colonel SCOTT, which Was the basis Of
To controversy with General Fry. IL
b preceded by an address, which was
Intended to be delivered before che
Ieyal Legion at Cincinnati, but Gen
6hsgmsn says that the sudden and uu-
expected death of General w. d. Han
coax, on the evening previous, changed
The whole character of the proceedings.
Following are extracts from the letter ::
TO M Comrades and Friends -
whilst seek retirement and peaoe, the
newspapers take great liberties with
ne ~ with every body else. They have
patiished that my family will soon
save Sc. Louis because We are diseop
tented, each paper assigning its own
separate reason. There Is no secret
about IL. All my family connections,
and all who have right 10 be consult
Cd, understood the CASE pesfcetly. Ever
sinse the failure Of the Harrison Wire
Company, at st. Louis, which involved
my son-in Law. Capt. Fitch, and which
has resulted In the removal of his
family to Pittsburg. ! have been dis
turbed. Three Of my children and
seven grandchildren are nov away from
home and there remain TO as only three.
OF these three the youngest, q sou nine
tcen years old, on whom the family
must soon depend. will graduate At st.
Louis University IN June, 1886. He wants
70 20 10 Yale College and | want him
70 receive the best possible education.
His going 90 New Haven in September
will probably result In the few of Us
left going TO New York TO be near him.
Ishail, however. retain all the property
Ipossess Ia st. Louis mot much to be
snfe). bot all that | have TO leave my
family when ! am laid in Bclfoutaine
ssmetsry. sm perfectly content with
~ neiehbors and friends of 81. Louis,
70 whom am very much attached and
Who have done all they possibly can TO
make our stay with them agreeable.
The Fry matter 10 equally simple
when viewed Alright. Last summer, af
tsf General Grants funeral, which
attended while travelling between New
York, Sc. Louis, Minnetonks and Chi
sAeo, Vas collecting materials for q
tribute Of respect, l, ~ president. was
syQussted to mako 20 the memory Of
Grant, our hrss commander. before the
society Of the Armv Of the Tennessee.
q our meeting at Chicago. on septem-
b. 9th and 10th. That address was
universally noted and copied in all the
taasnals Of the day. The quotation Of
