My dear madam:
Il respectfully present to you the
small writing table on which the con-
ditions for the surrender of the Con-
federate Army of Northern Virginia
were written by Lieut.. Gen. Grant, and
permit me to say, madam, that there is
scarcely an individual in our service
who has contributed more to bring
about this desirable result than your
very gallant husband.
Very respectfully,
PHIL Fl. SHERIDAN Major General"

he signed the articles of surrender was

Big Guns Ready for Action.

"At the point we entered, only short
distance from where we had left Gus
ter, battery of artillery was posted
and as we passed the guns l noticed
pile of shells on the ground in the
rear of each gun, and every gunner IN
position ready to give up warm re-
ception at the command. Fire. On
reaching the road. columns of Confed-
crate infantry were moving In perfect
order, and I recall hearing a soldier
shout, What is that Yankee doing here
with his arms on?' ! had folded the
towel out of sight as soon as l reached
the Confederate line.
when we arrived at the place where
Sims had left Gen. Lee we found only
Gems. Gordon and Longstreet, who ex-
planned that Gen. Lee had galloped off
to the rear to find Gen. Grant immedi-
ate1y after Sims had started out with
the flag of truce, and had left them
in command. I stated to them the mes
sage from Custer to Lee and told them
that I must have an immediate reply.
They said there was no doubt of sur
render, as we had cut off their line of
retreat the night before. and that they
were personally satisfied of the use
lessness of further resistance. l ex-
pressed regret that SO many good men
had been killed the night before and
that morning, whereupon they said
that Gen. Lee would not believe that
Lynchburg pike until the repulse of
Gordon's charge. which had been made
that morning by his orders.
while we were talking firing was
heard to the east of where / had left
Custer. and at my suggestion an Off
GER was sent with orders to stop it. ]
noticed that the guns that were NOV
ing past us as we talked had smoke
coming from their mouth, indicating
that they were the same that had been
used SO vigorously on our column
short time before. I protested against
the moving of these guns. and was as
sured that the object was to water the
horses in a small creek near by. At
this moment Gen. Ord's infantry line
of battle was seen closing In on us
from the west. and I was begged to
announce the surrender of the army to
that line

First Notice of Surrender.

Il saw that there was no time to
lose. SO / pulled out the old towel
again and rode out to the Union in
fantry line and said to Gen. Chamber
lain of Maine that Lees army had sur
rendered. The line halted at once and
a shout went up from right to left, fol-
lowed by a scene that words fail to
describe. ] then galloped back across
the field to Gen. Custer to make the
way that the infantry historians claim
that the surrender was first made to
them.
I'm conclusion, let me say that of all
the battlefelds of the war of the re-
bellion-and ! had the honor of being
in eighty-one battles--Appomattox was
