Letter, 9 April 1888.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46763817

Buell, in his 9 April 1888 letter to C.C. Buell of the Century Magazine, notes that he returned the map with "suggestions," the most important regarding Alexander McCook's "abortive" movement up the Sequatchy Valley in Tennessee; that Rosecrans "took up the reins" at Bowling Green (Ky.) during Braxton Bragg's invasion of Kentucky in 1862; and that the pursuit continued to London (Ky.) rather than Mount Vernon (Ky.). He also notes that the map belonged to the "Buell court proceedings" and probably not published, and that he hopes corrections can be made to Wheeler's articles. The map features marks made by Buell regarding movements made by the army in Tennessee and Kentucky in 1862.
