posed a party who stood by your
view of the Army Bill, notwithstan-
ding Hale's
for onslaught & even before we got
the Speech in full. But there

are eager to have its oblivion
cover their own.
Doubtless it is because none
of them have written your life
as Baker has, or seen it as closely
as I have.
Affectionately your son
