I am more pleased to-night than I could well express. I have
been talking to an old and dear friend, no other than Will Pinckney! His
arrival was as unexpected as it was agreeable. The cry of “Here comes Will
Pinckney” sent me back to August, ’60, when the words were always the
forerunner of fun and frolic. . . . He told me what he called his secrets; of
how he had been treated by the War Department (which has, indeed, behaved
shockingly towards the Colonel).
