No. 4
Charleston, South Carolina, July 25, 1865.
General: Since handing you my letter of yesterday I have read a speech reported to have been delivered in Greenville, South Carolina, on the 3d instant.
I have judged of Mr. Perry by reports of others, but as I now have an opportunity from his own lips of knowing his opinions, I must request that you will cross out that portion of my letter referring to him.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
JOHN P. HATCH, Brevet Major General, Commanding.
Major General CARL SCHURZ.
