Redingson and Jackson then took leave of the other parties and returned to their hotel. "After going to their rooms Captain Redingson remarked that he wished Jackson to stay with him and be his guest, as he feared he might need a friend in future in reference to his business; that he desired him to witness his transactions in reference to the sale of the bonds in his custody.
Redingson were verified and found correct according to the Secretary's letters. T. P. Redingson. This he placed to his own credit. He then took a statement of the whole transaction from the bank. After giving his signature, so that he might draw for his money, he was then ready to leave. When asked if he knew Mr.

It has been so thoroughly tested that there is now no longer any doubt of the destructive power of the material. "Capt. Redingson here interposed a question, desiring to know if this would come within the range of civilized warfare?
They were very suspicious of each other for some time, but finally Capt. Redingson gave him the sign of the Golden Circle, to which Jackson responded. The friendship was then at once established. Jackson carefully felt his way, as you have seen, he was a cautious man, and finally discovered that Capt. Redingson was well acquainted in Memphis.
"During one of their conversations Capt. Redingson, in relating some of his war experiences, made mention of the fact that at one time, not long past, he had met a young lady from Michigan in search of her sweetheart, and that he had been her escort while she was at Richmond, and through their lines to ours.
Redingson finally took a small book from his pocket and read her name, 'Se-raine Whitcomb, and that of her lover, 'Henry Lyon, and remarked, that he intended, if ever he should have an opportunity, to find out the history of the two, as she had impressed him very favorably, and, in fact, had excited his admiration, she was so gentle and frank, and withal so brave.

"The next day, promptly at the time, an officer appeared and inquired if Miss Seraine Whitcomb was in. She readily responded, and directed that he be admitted.

Jackson, of Memphis, Tenn., a good and true friend of the Confederacy, who was willing to do anything to aid in making the rebellion a success. Mr. Thomlinson received him with much cordiality, and conversed very freely, but cautiously. He was not quite as free and easy as Capt. Redingson. Finally Mr.
Carey and myself will take the first chance for getting to Canada, in in order to make the arrangements as now understood. At the same time he asked Capt. Redingson when and where would his orders take him. "The Captain replied that he should return to Richmond as soon as he could get through the lines. Speaking to Jackson, he said: 'I suppose you will remain in London for the present.
You will notice that these two men never talked on the street, or elsewhere than in their room. Redingson said to Jackson: "'Did you see how loath Thomlinson was to put money in any other hands than his own? "'I saw some hesitancy, said Jackson. "'Well, sir, he proposes to spend only what is absolutely necessary. None of it will ever find its way into the Confederate Treasury.
