Sherman writes a combative letter to the editor of the Washington Post justifying the service record of his staff officers against the charges in an article by a "City Editor." He states, "There is not an officer on my personal staff, who has not served every day in the Civil War in the Field, and who has not fought in more battles than any of the Bureau officers in Washington."
