Dear Sir:-

After addressing inquiries to several officials of the War Department in Washington, I have finally been advised by B. F. Harper, Auditor for that Department, that you are a son of the late General Alfred Sully, U. S. A. I have desired to find any of the surviving relatives of General Sully, as I have recently written a story dealing with the latter's campaign against the Sioux Indians in Dakota in 1864. The volume was published a short time since by Messrs. A. C. McClurg & Co., of Chicago, under the title, "With Sully into the Sioux Land." It is a boys' story but is based on the accurate history of the campaign and in it I have tried to present as clear a picture as possible of the strong personality and abilities of General Sully as I have learned of them from my father and a number of other men in Yankton who knew him well during the period that he was stationed in this country.

It will give me the greatest pleasure to present you with a copy of the book if you will kindly advise me that I have your address correctly.

Mr. A. W. Sully,

Dear Mr. Sully:

I have read with much interest the copies
of the letters which you kindly left here the other day,
but regret to say that I have decided against using
them in the Sunday Magazine of the Times. We are great-
ly handicapped just now for lack of space in which to
print features and are compelled to forego publishing
many interesting things.

I thank you very much for bringing the letters
here and remain

P.S. I also enclose the ~~few~~ sketches which you left.
