Marlon, Ala., Aug. 28tb, 185 Dear Gen 1 received a day or two since tbe copy your address to tbe Palmetto Association wbiob I thank yon. 1 regret that I did not receive It a few di earlier, as 1 bad Just publlxbed my first ob ter a day or two before. You will see bi ever that I gave prominenoe 10 me 3a point made lo your address, to wit, the h terms of our service, oot for a term, but "d lngtbewar." I haveJust written ihe secc chapter, which will appear In the n "America." It la unfortunate that I have not more 1< ure to write them. They are written Just my other editorials hastily, and wltbi muoh care as to style. I think however It will do some servloe to the state, by a J presentation of the services and sufferlDgc the Palmettoes. They are copied by a la Dumber or papers and will In this way read by a vastly larger number than tl oould reaob In book lorm. I And that ther a very general sympathy and admiration the Palmetto Regiment and a vague and ei exaggerated Idea of gallantry and losses battle. The popular Idea Is that the hundreds our men who died of disease, fell in bat and I regret that the truth of history oom j me to dispel the error. I will take your advloe, not to Indlvldi Ue, by praise or disparagement, any mem of the regiment. I have made perhaps slight departure from It In the first chapter) speaking of the captains or the regiment, I as Dearly all were lnoluded, and the obj was to add to the aggregate character or Regiment, by the character of Its captalni think you will excuse me. I have paid those notes whloh you had ool lection. My health has been very delloate since came to Alabama and It has kept me do somewhat but I have nevertheless mi some advancement In the world.
