Camp near Shepherdstown, Md.<br \/>\nMy Dear Father:<br \/>\n\tI received a letter of 14th last from you this morning.<br \/>\nI suppose from what you say of the Tribune that you haven\u2019t seen some of the daily issues lately at least some that I have seen. One copy I remember of seeing in which he urged the President to give General Fremont an important command. A man, in my opinion, was more unfit to command an army of forty thousand men than I am of commanding a Brigade.<br \/>\n\tI want to ask you a plain question:  If General Fremont could resign his command only, and get to New York and before when the country needed him in the field, why couldn\u2019t I resign my command of my company and go home and stay as long as I please?<br \/>\n\tYou say that it is your opinion that McClellan and his officers caused Pope to lose the Battle of Bull Run. If you had been there and seen how the latter fought, you would have thought differently. In the first place McClellan had no command at all. And in the second, the Army of the Potomac and Burnsides Army fought the Battle of Bull Run unaided, almost entirely, by either Pope\u2019s or Siegel\u2019s  armies. <\/p>\n"},"alt_text":"","media_type":"image","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","media_details":{"width":2355,"height":2913,"file":"10-18-1862-p1.jpg","sizes":{"thumbnail":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"medium":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-243x300.jpg","width":243,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-243x300.jpg"},"medium_large":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-768x950.jpg","width":768,"height":950,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-768x950.jpg"},"large":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-1617x2000.jpg","width":1617,"height":2000,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-1617x2000.jpg"},"post-thumbnail":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-300x300.jpg","width":300,"height":300,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-300x300.jpg"},"post_thumbnail":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"single-post-thumbnail":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg","width":150,"height":150,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-150x150.jpg"},"home-post-thumbnail":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1-200x200.jpg","width":200,"height":200,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1-200x200.jpg"},"full":{"file":"10-18-1862-p1.jpg","width":2355,"height":2913,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1.jpg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"1","keywords":[]}},"post":null,"source_url":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/10-18-1862-p1.jpg","filename":"10-18-1862-p1.jpg","filesize":2169135,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8513","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attachment"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.karenfurst.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8513"}]}}
