What was my relief, as S drew near, to observe a kindly smile stealing over his face, as he extended his hand to seize mine, saying, "General Maury, I have come for the honor of shaking you by the hand, and telling you that, by G d, sir, you are the only honest man that I met during the war from Abe Lincoln down ! " I never shook a man's hand with more sincere pleasure in all my life, and as soon as I could I wrote my wife how those gloves had saved me. Some weeks ago I went into the office of ...the Secretary of the Navy, when a man sprang up from the sofa and claimed acquaintance, saying, " I am S, whom you tried to hang in Mobile. " I informed him I felt glad I did not do it. On further talk he told me he was so anxious to shake hands at our last meeting because he was afraid of me. During thy command of that department, General Bragg invited me to accept a fine command in his army, which I declined, preferring to be directly under the control of the War Department, as I then was. After wards Hood applied to the President to have me ap pointed lieutenant-general, and ordered to a corps of his army, but the President replied I could not then be taken from Mobile, but he would promote me to the rank of lieutenant-general.
