Thanks Hunt for the manuscript of an article he previously enclosed. Praises Hunt's account, and his skill while serving as Chief of Artillery. Says, "When I remember what positions you held under me & what the relative work done was, I am amazed beyond expression by the magnificent disdain of one to whom I gave a [illegible] in my last battle, while you commanded the artillery the whole Army!!" Indicates that he will forward the manuscript to Newton (possibly John Newton, who had also served as a General during the Civil War).
