And I am sure the implications is direct in my writings that the evidence, pro and con, concerning Gen. Porter, became a vast accumulation and only one who has through years of toil sifted this evidence to its essential points, can render an adequate or fair judgement of Gen. Porter.” In fine condition, with intersecting fold lines and faint edge toning. RRAuction COA.
