  THE SUPPLIES FOR THE CONFEDERATE ARMY CALEB HUSE Major and Purchasing Agent, C. S. A. Dear Sir:— In the Summer of 1903, two friends of Major Huse were hospitably entertained by him at his charming home, "The Rocks," on the Hudson, just south of West Point, and, during their visit, were greatly interested in listening to his recital of some of his experiences as agent in Europe for purchasing army supplies for the Confederate States during the Civil war. I was so impressed by this unique bit of history that I succeeded, after much urging, in inducing him to write it, believing that it should be preserved, and knowing that no one else could furnish it. His four years' experience would, if fully told, fill a large volume, but this brief recital is all that can be hoped for. I am sending you herewith a copy of this pamphlet. If you wish to keep it, please send 25 cents in enclosed coin card. If you do not want it, please return it flat by pasting the enclosed stamped and addressed envelope on the enclosing envelope. Yours truly, J. S. Rogers. Room 118, Barristers Hall, 15 Pemberton Square, Boston, Mass. |
