mpany him on all scouts and reconnoissances whenever I could be spared from my regular duties. And when I could not go with him, he generally made it a point on his return to report to me such facts as he thought would be worth noting down. As I endeavored to notice the chief points of interest covering the area of our operations, he frequently furnished me with information from higher authorities, which I could not have otherwise got. When I carried orders on the field at Newtonia last September, it was Colonel Jewell that I saw lead two battalions of the Sixth Kansas Cavalry on our right against two battalions of the enemy's cavalry. This force of the enemy, though somewhat superior to ours, had no sooner drawn several volleys from our carbines than Colonel Jewell ordered his bugler to sound the charge, and in an instant, withdrawn sabres and at the head of his regiment, he swept forward over the prairie like a storm, leaving a cloud of dust in his rear.

Immediately on our arrival at Neosho I delivered the dispatches and mail to Major John A Foreman, commanding officer of the post, who at once sent them by another detachment on to Springfield. I breakfasted at home with father and mother and the family, the first time for nearly two years. Mother was nearly wild with delight to see me, so many exciting events have taken place in this section since the last time she saw me. Though we were within twelve miles of here last September at the battle of Newtonia, I did not have an opportunity of coming home. She heard the booming of artillery all that day, and knowing that my brother and I were with our troops, felt great anxiety until she heard that we were all right. When we came in sight of the place, I could hardly bring my mind, I regret to say, into a condition to greet it with much warmth of feeling. It is easy to imagine an instance in which, when one person purposely or carelessly offends another, and after
