My acquaintance with him had begun several years before at Syracuse, when my old school friend, his college mate, Charles Elliot Fitch, brought him into my library. My collection of books was even at that date very large, and Garfield, being delighted with it, soon revealed his scholarly qualities.
"What should I do that for?" asked Eben, suspiciously. "Never mind. Surely you can have no objection." "Well, no; I don't know as I have, though I think it's all foolishness." He sat down, and a pen was handed him. "What shall I write?" he asked. "Write 'Messrs. Jones & Fitch." "What for?" demanded Eben, looking discomposed. "That's my affair. Write."
There was lots in it as was new to me, for it's a thick book, an' all I knowed about that part of the world before was as Java coffee comes from Java an' the Philippines from Spain. But I know it all now, an' Judge Fitch himself can't tell me nothin' from this day on that the man who wrote that book ain't told me first.
But if you want to know, he must tell you. It might be better for you not to know; you must consider that. It can make no difference now of any kind." "It may make a difference," said Sylvia brokenly, not lifting her head; "it may make a great deal of difference. That's why I speak of it; that's why I must know!"

The Governor and Council were so much gratified with the success of the boat that they presented Mr. Fitch with a superb flag.
On the day following the delivery to Andrew Kelton of the letter in which money for Sylvia's education was offered by an unknown person, the bearer of the message was to be seen at Indianapolis, in the law office of Wright and Fitch, attorneys and counselors at law, on the fourth floor of the White River Trust Company's building in Washington Street.

It was my first acquaintance with Captain Fitch, who had accompanied Rosecrans's column, and his cool efficiency was so marked that I applied for him as quartermaster upon my staff. He remained with me till I finally left West Virginia in 1863, and I never saw his superior in handling trains in the field.
