Note 1304 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
This appears from the record itself. (See Wilkinson's testimony, ib. 512-44; also testimony of Major James Bruff, ib. 589-90.) Blennerhassett, who usually reported faithfully the general impression, notes in his diary: "The General exhibited the manner of a sergeant under a courtmartial, rather than the demeanor of an accusing officer confronted with his culprit." (Blennerhassett Papers: Safford, 422.)
