been read with intense interest. The
cogent presentation made by Capt.
Bond Is admirable. The wide field
that he has covered in his investigation
and the excellent form In which he
has stated the results are most satisfy
ing to Tie student OF the late war.
Would that we had more such stu
dents.
Some years since my attention was
directed to the matter of Plckett's
charge at Gettysburg, in connection
with detailed study of the great
battle. The result of the researches
made led me, in spite of myself, to the
conclusion quite similar to what is
he'e given. Tie data that Influenced
me we're the comparative losses of the
Southern regiments engaged in the
famous attack, and the remarkable
TACT, also given by Capt. Bond, that

me to have 1t? I will remit on receipt.
Also do you know of any publications
relating to the history and serylces Of

all such works, 50 Tar as my means will
