u will read carefully the address I am sendingyou, and the report Blair made—also the address of Strong—Ithink you will come to the same conclusions I give you. An articleon the death of General McPherson, by W. W. Allen, of San Diego,California, Signal Officer of the Army of the Tennessee, appearedin an issue of the National Tribune some time this year, but ofwhat date I do not know. It goes to prove the time and the hourMcPherson was killed, and the capture of the skirmish-line thatkilled him. Of course a great many of the official reports are mis-leading as to time, and it is only by these circumstances that we canjudge definitely. I notice it was 12 :20 oclock, according to Allen,when they first heard the rattle of musketry and artillery. When vou have read Allens article please return it to me. Iwill be very glad to give you any further information you may needif it is possible for me to do so. Truly and cordially yours,General Green B. Raum. Grenville M. Dodge. Chicago, III.
