The lost Dispatch—Letter from General D. H. Hill.
Macon, Georgia, January 22d, 1885. Rev. J. William Jones, Secretary Southern Historical Society:
Dear sir,—Permit me a brief reply to a portion of the able and eloquent address of General t it was picked up from the corner of a table in the house, which had served as the headquarters of the Confederate General D. H. Hill.
A story current in Frederick is that General Hill sat for some time at the corner of Market and Patrick streets, General Hill sat for some time at the corner of Market and Patrick streets, inspecting the march of his column as it moved by, and was observed to drop a paper from his pocket, which was picked up as soon as he left, and delivered to McClellan on his arrival on the 13th.
The two stories do not harmonize very well, and to n trouble, failure and disaster came, he did not look round to find a scape-goat.
He was chary of censure of conduct, and still more so of motive.
Let all who admire his greatness imitate his noble example.
Respectfully and truly, D. H. Hill
