Full Text
There is another correspondence that has long been kept back! We allude to that between the "Greatest and Best" and Mr. Southard, the late Secretary of the Navy. So far as Mr. Southard is concerned there is no objection to its publicity. It is suspected the General withholds it from very prudential considerations! His letters to Mr. S. are thought to surpass in manner, matter and style of composition, his celebrated Dinsmoor epistle which still graces the War Department, unless abstracted from its files since the reign of the present dynasty.—Balt. Pat.
