No news of Torbert's progress came, however, so, yielding at last, I directed Crook to take post on the right of the Nineteenth Corps and, when the action was renewed, to push his command forward as a turning-column in conjunction with Emory.
A few friends knew otherwise: and I blessed the rumor which cost me certain friends who thought me poor and so forsook me. Perhaps, my father would have called me quixotic had he known. Now, as I read and pondered, I neither blamed him for his own course in fair business war with old Dan Emory, nor did I censure myself for my own hidden act of restitution.
Then there is Carver hospital, larger still, a wall'd and military city regularly laid out, and guarded by squads of sentries. Again, off east, Lincoln hospital, a still larger one; and half a mile further Emory hospital.
Withal the force was ample, for at the end of March there were 31,000 officers and men for duty, including about 4,800 under Ransom, 6,600 under Emory, 9,000 under A. J. Smith, and Lee's cavalry, 4,600. Here was a superb fighting column of 25,000 officers and men of all arms, with ninety guns. This more than met the calculations of Banks and Sherman on which the campaign was undertaken.
In all the many times I heard him, both at home and abroad, he never had a failure and sometimes made a sensation. Among the many interesting characters whom I met on shipboard was Emory Storrs, a famous Chicago lawyer. Storrs was a genius of rare talent as an advocator. He also on occasions would make a most successful speech, but his efforts were unequal.
Wallace had straightened up; it was quite in his old manner that he said: "I would rather work for Emory Dawson than for any man I know of in New York!" "Oh, a manager?" "The coming manager you mark what I say!" "And you met him?" Martie was asking the dutiful questions; but her face rested against her husband's as she talked, and she was crying a little, in joy and relief.
We made Miss Emory lie down behind a little slide of rock, and disposed ourselves under shelter. "We can take them as fast as they come," exulted Tim. "I don't believe there are more than two or three of them," I observed. "It would be only a scouting party. They will go for help." As there was no longer reason for concealment, we talked aloud and freely. Now ensued a long waiting interim.

For the whole distance the army was once more separated from the fleet. It was half-past one on the morning of the 22d before the last of the wagons had effected the first crossing of Cane River. By three o'clock Emory was on the south bank, and A. J. Smith at five.
I am the concentrated essence of modernism and have no use for 'oratory' or 'eloquence. Some of the little speeches in the Record are masterpieces of brevity and pure English, particularly Senator North's." "You are modern. If we had a Clay, I could understand you I am too exhausted to discuss the matter further; you must drop it for the present. What will Jack Emory say?"
