letter from General W. 7. Sherman in
relation to General Grant and recent

rieW:
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. IL, 1856.
Rer. George Morrison, Baltimore
Dear Sir,-I have received your let
ter Of the eth, with the newspaper
slip enclosed. OF course | have read
carefully the first volume Of General
Grants Memoirs, and regard it as ad-
mirable in every sense, and now await
the second volume, which | doubt not
will be equally valuable and interest
ing. From the day reported to him
from Paducah till his death our rela-
tons were as brothers rather than as
commander and commanded, and it
is utterly impossible that could
have written or spoken the words
"a quoted in the December num-
Der of the North american Recie,c.
have a very large correspondence and
converse freely with thousands Of peo-
pie, and, as is natural, as we often
speculate what might have been had
General Grant gone to the rear and c.
+. Smith fought the battle Of Shiloh;
what might have been had Washington
accepted his warrant in the English
navy, &c. but that could have writ
ten the positive expression THAT had
c. F. Smith lived General Grant would
have disappeared from history" is an
impossibility. Personally | want to live
in peace to avoid all controversy, but
am confident in good time we shall
learn on what authority or hearsay this
publication is based. inclose with this
a slip containing my last public utterance
about General Grant when announced
his death to his old comrades Of the
Army OF the Tennessee. | don't be-
lieye any man living or dead has borne
more willing testimony to General
Grants great qualities, especially as
demonstrated at Henry, Donnelson,
Shiloh, and Vicksburg, than myself.
Yours truly,
W. I. SHERMAN.
General Sherman enclosed a printed
copy of portion Of his speech to the
Army Of Tennessee announcing the
death of General Grant, and eulogizing
