Appendix S: despatch from General Grant to General Meade on the report of the Committee on the Conduct of the War about the Petersburg mine explosion, mentioned in letter of February 9, 1865. see page 261, Vol. II Feb. 9, 10 A. M. Grant to Meade: The Committee on the Conduct of the War have published the result of their investigation of the Mine explosion. Their opinions are not sustained by knowledge of the facts nor by my evidence nor yours either do I suppose. Gen. Burnside's evidence apparently has been their guide and to draw it mildly he has forgotten some of the facts. I think in justification to yourself who seem to be the only party censured, Genl. Burnside should be brought before a Court Martial and let the proceedings of the Court go before the public along with the report of the Congressional Committee.
