My Dear Gen'l
I have thought it best to send you a Book in which a portion of two papers I referred to are copied, & other authentic slips of paper pasted.--
There are incidents of a mostly personal nature which it would not be proper for me either to write myself, or (by that convenient process to which a flaming modesty so often resorts) to procure others to write for me. Time will bring them out. I prefer that my reputation should improve upon a better knowledge of [?], rather than diminish.
I observe that in your Report I am spoken of as absent from my Regt. occasionally without any remark to the effect that I was at that time commanding the Brigade. Indeed I am classed [?] with Col Gilmore as "absent" when in fact I was at that time leading my Brigade into Battle & had my horse shot there.
