published by way OF vindication from tho In.
contained in cotcmporary In
your article you quote a letter from my old
"bunkco" and friend, John A. Cowan-(poor

In Alabama)-in which letter am mentioned
as among tho Casualties" having been taken
prisoner at Charlottesville.
Inow write you as one who enlisted in your

signed. For months before that time 1t was
common talk among the men that you were
unable to remain in tho field, and
all whom heard speak OF the matter-and we
had plenty time to gossip then-approved OF
your action as being proper and sensible in
view of your bad health, although your COM
pany to a man, and, so far as knew, the whole
Fifth Ohio Regiment, regretted losing you.
You were, honestly believe-and koow you
will not think me guilty of attempting to give
you "taffy," to me slang cxpression-the most
popular officer in the regiment, among the men,
for the reason that, while doing your duty as
an officer, both in action and in camp, you did
not assume any airs in view OF your rank.
