Grant was deeply interested in the battle of Gettys-
burg of which he knew only by reports, and one day
at the close of dinner he asked Pickett to explain
certain movements, marking the tablecloth with his
spoon in his inquiry. Pickett taking up his spoon,
slowly drew on the cloth a diagram, deliberately
explaining the position held by the troops as he
went along.
Bring me a blue pencil" said Grant, as Pickett
finished, and when it brought he carefully
marked the lines of the spoon in the soft cloth.
Then he said, Now bring me the shears" He cut
and carried it and the piece of tablecloth into the
smoking room.
General Grant seemed surprised by my interest in
his past life and in him, knowing how bitter my
feelings had BEEN and took particular pains to tell
me many little incident about himself. To my
