Charles Tenney, near Rockville, Maryland, Letter to Adelaide E.
Case
Charles provides Adelaide with a brief overview of his daily routine and of the
enlisted men's opinions of their commanders, including a few barbed comments
about his own division commander, General Green. After relating some current
rumors about enemy activity in the region, he dismisses them with the assurance
that he never pays attention to such gossip. He defends General Geary against
recent charges of destruction and cowardice, made against him in the Cleveland
Leader, and maintains that no better Brigadier General exists, than John. W.
Geary. He closes with an appeal for a longer letter.
