Note 9 — Chapter XIII
Reading edition
Page 208, line 3, after the word "McClellan."
Washington, April 13, 1888.
My dear Marshal Lamon, — I received the proof sheet of your article enclosed in your note of the 8th. I have read it very carefully and I find the facts as stated are correct.
Mr. F. P. Blair, Senior, told me the incident of conveying in person President Lincoln's letter to McClellan.
I liked McClellan, but I have always believed he was politically slaughtered in the house of his alleged friends.
Yours truly, A. Pleasonton.
