Letter
William T. Sherman to General Drum, March 26, 1882
[Appendix 3 to inclosure.]
General Sherman to General Drum.
Headquarters Army of the United States, Fort Bliss, Texas, March 26, 1882.
General: Your letter of March 15 met me here, and the instructions you have given General McDowell are of course all right.

The matter of which Señor Zamacona complains occurred some months ago, and next week I will pass over the very ground where this escapade of Chiricahuas occurred.
The new railroad now in full career will settle all these matters.* * * To-morrow I go 120 miles toward Chihuahua, and Governor Anthony has just been here and thinks the railroad will reach Chihuahua in all June, distance 225 miles, nearly all graded, and the track being laid at the rate of 1½ miles a day.
* * * * * * *
Truly, &c.,
W. T. SHERMAN.
