I hope you will perform it at once and cause a thorough investigation of my conduct by a competent Court.

I am unaware of the source from which Mr T.W. Conway derived his knowledge of me personally, either in a political or military point of view, as he never heard me say one word on either subject and was not in my presence exceeding then minutes, and that period would have been considerably curtailed had I been aware that he was a detective.

I am, General,
Very respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
Alvan C Gillem
Brevet Major Genl. U.S.A.
Asst Com'r Bureau &c
