Q. That was in reply to your communication?
A. Yes.
Q. There was no other communication from General Latta?
A. I sent him two. The first communication was—the purport of it was—that General Brinton had left there, and that we were suffering for ammunition and for rations, and also had but two friction primers. I have a copy of this, and one of the Sunday papers, I believe, copied it.
Q. That was the first?
A. Yes.
Q. Can you give us the original of that?
A. I think I can give the original—I can give you the original of one. The Sunday Republic published it.
Q. What was the second communication—the one you received and replied to from General Latta?
A. I received a reply to both from General Latta.
