for the fulfilment ot Gon Grants written con-

with mo I think U desirable to odd tohis publication the letters which he has with ¬

held and a record ot certain events which ms

has concealed These will bo found to throw a-

very different light upon the story from that lawhich he would like It to bo regarded theywill show that Instead of claiming eithermoney or reputation from Gen Grant or hifamily not ray due I have for years remainedsilent for the sake of my thief I have en-

deavored¬

at the BAcriflea ot both money andreputation to keep bacK the secrets ho sharedwith me and I now come forward only to pro-

tect¬

his honor and name against that son whohas dona so much to degrade them

In the summer ot IBM when as yet he hadmanifested no symptoms of an Incurable dis-

ease¬

Gen Grant wan at Lonff Branch anti I wasIn ths OatsklUs tin August Invited mo ur-gently

¬

to spend at least a week at his house Iwent to him accordingly and the day attar mrarrival he took me to drive In a bnory he andI alone Then ho told me that ho had boon re-quested

¬

to write his memoirs and would hiketo consent but as he had always promised mothat my history should be the only authorizedexprestdon of his views on the war he did notfeel at liberty to write without consulting meHe said that It I would help him he would giveme 6000 out of the first 30000 profit he re-

ceived¬

and 6000 more out of the next 10000but 11 he did not receive as much as 8200001would get nothing lie was bankrupt andcould do nothing better He also said that heshould not think ot attempting the work with ¬

out my assistance and he particularly desiredme to keep the agreement secret between himand me-

The proposition was a groat blow to me forI had looked forward to going into history Mhis mouthpiece and spokesman and of courseif he wrote a new work himself my especialauthority would be superseded But he wasmy chief and my friend and in trouble Thebook might bring him in money and the workat least would distract him from his miseryWe both considered that lila memoirs mightyield front 30000 to 50000 and that tn twoor three months at the furthest it would becompleted It was not to bo an elaborate his-tory

¬

but a personal memoir I consented toaid him and when we returned after our driveI at once set about the work

I had devoted the boat energies of my life forseventeen years to the study and exposition othis campaigns and know their history at thistime more thoroughly than ho did himself Ilaid out a plan of hit book and revised againsome magazine articles which he had alreadyprepared and which I had corrected and work ¬ed over with him I spend u week or ton daysat his house and then returned to the CatskillsIn October Gen Grant wont to Now York forthe winter ana immediately wrote asking meto his house to stay nndtoiro on with his bookI was at that time engaged In the compositionof book of my own n novel in which I wasvery mucn intirestea anti iota mm i wouiuprefer to finish this first but he was so urgentthat I finally postponed my own labors andplans and went to his nouns in New York Iremained there front the 15th of October tillthe second week In May engaged on bin mem-oirs

which proved as arduous literary labor asI ever attempted

In February as Gon Grant had become dan-gerously
