Letter, 1885 July 3

 Item — Box: 49, Folder: 13
Identifier: id67553

Scope and Contents

Celsus Price, St. Louis, MO to General John Tyler, Jr., Washington, D.C. Marked confidential. Price hasn’t heard back from Tyler regarding the publication of the Yancey letter describing the Battle of Corinth. He has an idea of how the article could be changed so as to please the editor of the Century Magazine but still provide an accurate account of events that will do his father justice. Tyler’s letter contradicts statements made in the “Historical Paper of Richmond” that claim that Price’s father wanted to renew the fight after the retreat. Price is willing to write to the editor himself and make the case for publication. In a postscript, Price mentions the other works that may be willing to publish Tyler’s letter and how determined he is to see it in print. Two envelopes included.
