NOTE.-Just as the last forms of this volume were passing through the press, we received the following note which explains itself.
"COLONEL A. B. MOORE, OTTAWA, ILL.:
“Louisville, KENTUCKY, January 10, 1867.
Colonel,—I received your letter of the 3d inst., and after a careful examination of the official report of other officers, who participated in the battle of Hartsville, Tennessee, I am enabled to state that all concur in testifying to your personal bravery, as well as to the gallantry of your own regiment, the 104th Illinois. Colonel John Harlan, 10th Kentucky, who arrived with his own and 10th Indiana regiment, very soon after the enemy had recrossed the Cumberland River, mentions in his report, that a large majority of the killed and wounded of your command belonged to the 104th Illinois, which is conclusive evidence of the steadiness and bravery of your own regiment and of yourself personally.
"I am, Colonel, very respectfully your obedient servant,
"GEO. H. THOMAS, Major-General, U. S. A.”
