My history in the" army ir not lengthy, though I have seen two years of very hard service. 1469 October, 1864. , ; /..Jo have been in six engagements, but neither my regiment nor myself will ever get credit for oiir conduct in any of {.hem so long as we remain"under the government of Hungary and Germany. The. Battle od Jenkins Ferry was one of the severest on record, but will never . ■ get its deserts in history. It was.no bush or breastwork affair, but an open field fight between" two armies (exclusively infantry, except two pieces of artillery belonging to the enemy, which my regiment charged and captured) within 100 paces of each other, engaged in deadly conflict for over 6 hours, when the enemy gave way and left us masters of the field. I faced the storm, and stood right at the backs of my men, cheering them on until the I fire of the enemy ceased. My regiment had fehe post of honor and of danger--the righ^ and the road by which the enemy was approach ing—and held it triumphantly, with a loss of 108 killed, wounded • ' 1 * • • and missing. . f * For five hours I could compare the roll of musketry to nothing but the ceaseless roar of Niagara. A month previous, on the 2d r April, 1864, I also had a severe fight, I was guarding the rear of the supply train of the whole army (some 500 wagons) with my fegiment and 2 pieces of artillery, hrving no cavalry for skirmish ing and flankers. About 1200 cavalry under Shelby dashed sudddnly upon mo and opened with 2 pieces of artillery and carbines. I repulsed them in three successive attacks and held them in check for three hours, keeping bhfeween them and the train, until I was 1470 October, 1864, .MOT , reinforced, when we cleaned them out and Conducted the train into ■ ''' carp in safetyi, This fight fully tested our pluck,, as w e were "alone. 'When advancing to keep near the train, T frequently ' ; (almost rahcly perhaps) threw myself between my men and th'e enemy j I to inspire confidence and prevent filtering at a critical moment, I had 27 killed and wounded. I can say without boasting that I have the entire confidence of my men in any emergency. When I went, to take leave .of- General Rice, before he started horn from this lace, he invited me to his. bed-side, and said: "Colonel,,! shall never forget your coolness and cpmoospre and the t ;aG/ efficient services you rendered me during the recent expedition, - * ' ' . 1 ' L , and especially at^the Battl e of Jenkin's Ferry.

Yours was^received some days ago. I am at a loss what to answere you--as to trotting after Durant any further. I will not. The road thus far owes more, to me than any man connected with it-- even the Denver people concede a route necessary to success as far north as the Cache La Poudre—the surveys thus far, and we have an .outlir\e, of them, all show that I have hit the locality every time. Our failing to connect the Platte and Republican Valley s is simply because the military were unable to furnish us an escort. The idea of sitting do^ deliberately and writing the Doctor day after day and week after week without answer or notice, and then all of a sudeen to find a batch of telegrams hot and furious about matters that I had "Titten and talked and preached time out of mind! The truth is Dr. Durant has too many other things tothink of pays very little attention to ar^ything until he happens to want it, when instead of walking into the other room wherd these things should be, he pitches off a lot"of telegrams. It is gratifying to me at least, to knov/ that the surveys and examinations of Reed, Evans and Case strike the same route in almost every particular as I have indicated and they can find nothing elsewhere that compares at all favorably, Silas Seymour was out here with Yr. Williams, Government Director; both had letters in their pockets from Durant to me asking * ' . me to show them the Eastern end of the road, euid advise with tham 1480 . il£}4 < October, 1864. ,• freely about.grades, bridging,.location of stations, etc. A few hours after their arrival, your telegram came, informing me that these things were none of their business, that nobody must look into the Platte Valley. I showed the message to Mr. Henry, who thought you were putting on a great many airs. I then told him that the message was dictated by Mr, Durant as you would never, of your own accord, send anything of the kind. Henry puzzled his brains for some hours and concluded that he had better go, anyhow the chances being that there was not sense enough in the whole part; to get ^ ■ • • . many ideas out of it. I could go to New York and manage matters ir-"' to perfection. If I could see Durant about once in two weeks it would all be satisfactory, but as it is there is no use in trying. What does the I^octor want you to do? I can't for the life of me fathom his jplans » f ' . r. , * « This contract deatrpys'the charm of the work, as it would have « been creditable to have built a cheap road—no man can call 50,000 * per mile for a road up the Platte Valley anything else but a big swindle--and thus it must stand forever. I cannot see who is the gainer as the road is depreciated so * much in value as its cost is Bwelled, and constructor and the road are swindles by the same process—both rendered worthless. Did the M. & M, represent onlj its actual cash cost, today does any man believe that it would take long to raise the means to complete f , it? Hoping to hear from you soon, 481 November, 1864. , * t Gen. Howard to Gen. Dodge, Smyrna Camp Ground, 8:- I received your kind note. My confidence in you as an up right man and a good soldier has never been impaired. I would have been very glad to have had you had the 16th corps and to - , hav had it in the field, but for reasons which | will explain to you at length when I see you, I recommended General Dana. He appeared to be senior to you and General A. J. Smith; but I assure you I shall be gla'-^ to have you command a corps lander me in the field when opportunity offers. At present General Osterhaus is commanding the 15th corps, and f am reluctant to have General Wood, who is commanding his division, again thrown back to a brigade, which he would be•in case of General Logan's return or of another and outside assignment. : a • ' ' - But between you and me, I much prefer yourself to General . '<1 " ' ^ Osterhaus as a matter of personal prefe ence ; the 16th corps is now broken un, and I don't know what ;''ou will have. r-^ , ■ ■ ■ - r ^ rr^. ^ I am sorry your wound is not well. \ ^ t on Private Diary Mem, 8:- Annie arrived in "^t. Louis at noon. Col. Williamson to Genl f)odge,'Vlning Station, Ge"^ I arrived here on the 6th, and went immediately toasee General Howard. General Sheman is at Kingston and I have not been able to see either Spencer,' Sprague or Puller. r I had a long-tailc with Generhl Howard about'"~yo\i| dftd found him very friendly and kindly disposed tbwardd you;'bfiit will tell 1482 Novomber, 1864, i "/Vc. you substantially what he said. He said, that he would have liked very much to have given you the command of the 16th corps, « but if he did so, there was no place for General Smith and he was your senior, that Dana was senior to both and he could not do other ". . . , wise than to give him the command of the corps, and you one wing, • • and Smith the other. He also said that your command would be almost independent or left to yoxirself, and that your command was most important and needed better officers than it would need cl ■ . • if here. My real impression is that General Howard is a good r ^ ^ m friend of yours. Prom what I have been able to learn here, General Sherman did not want you to go home on account of your wound, but wanted you to stay until the close of the campaign, and it may be possible that he is n6t as well pleased with you as he otherwise would have been. • • f T r I will send the letters to General Sprague and Puller today, as I have Just learned of their whereabouts near Marietta. The election passed off quietly.

There is a fight going on now at Atlanta or else they are blowing up the town. , When I see General Sherman I will write you again. t It is said bsrs by General Wood and others that I will be the 1483 November, 1864, k' , first officer promoted. If this should be so, and you have a Btigade for me, I will make an effort to come to you if you want me, as I cannot and will not serve here if I can hClp it, provided Osterhaus commands the corps, H. 0.

"command of the 15th corps, and I think such was the intention; but I suspect, without knowing positively, that General Logan did not feel entirely friendly to you, and that some of his officers were brought to partake of the same feelings.

I thank you so much for the remembrances. I did not presume on our short ac quaintance to express my desire for the gift, bixt it was none the less sincere, perhaps ere this the little gift designed for him has reached ySu, showing our remembrances were mutual. » # And was not our visit in Danvers pleasant? Sometimesin dreams I see you all again- oftener, however, in my waking hours. Tonight I can just bite off the last of a blackened nail, I re ceived in peabody Institute, frcm the falling of the window, as you and I were trying to see the precession. By the way, I will i-rite you what I did not have an opportunity of saying. The * » night before you took tea with us, as we sat talking, Mrs. Hunt said: "Girls, I shall kiss the General for his Mother's sake." "If you do" said I, "I will tell him you practiced all the evening." She was so fearful my joke was in earnest, she made no affectionate demonstration. General made many friends during your Eastern tour, and those t " of u« V^o had the pleasure of spending a few hours only with you, felt aad at parting. I think seldom are "good-bye scenes" among comparative strangers or even friend more tenderly remembered than when you all stood in the door, and we wpoke our last words and saw you drive off in the darkness. l" did not dream of renewing the acquaintance in an epistolary way till Marth enclosed the General's ■ ' ' - • • ■ J ' ' ' I ' itjC; 1496 bo ('r,.

In my album - Mr, Lincoln (God bless him) Genls, Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Dodge are side by side- a group of faithful heroes their country's pride. By the latter is an empty space. "It seems to me his srife should fill it, I have just returned from a "Thanksgiving" visit, and shall I be'pardoned for a bit of family gossip?
