SIR: The distribution of the forces under my command, incident to an unexpected change of commanders, and the overwhelming force under your command, compel me, notwithstanding the brilliant success of the Confederate arms yesterday, to accept the ungenerous and unchivalrous terms which you propose.

Very respectfully, your ob't ser't, ALFRED VAIL. Professor Fisher was detailed to superintend the manufacture of the wire, its insulation and its insertion in the lead tubes, and Professor Gale's scientific knowledge was to be placed at the disposal of the patentees wherever and whenever it should be necessary.
Hoping this will find you enjoying the same I beg my dear sir to sign myself "Your ob't s'r'v't J. DOLAN." When Jacob Dolan finished his letter, he addressed the envelope and hurried away to mail it. And so long as we are here in the court-house, and the custodian is gone, would you like to step in and see Martin Culpepper across the hall?

I have had a full and free conversation with General Gist, the substance of which is contained in this letter. He will, however, give it to you more in detail.

With great respect, your ob't serv't,
