I shall say nothing of his conduct at the camp of the 14th Regiment, Col. Mitchell commanding, at or near Yellville. I have no object to mentioned any of the pleasant little incidents of his travel from Yellville to Pearce’s headquarters. Those little things are known, but no good could accrue to my cause by publishing charges against others. I ignore them. I only desire to call attention to the fact that Pearce’s entire army disbanded, and that in a position to the boasted strenuous efforts of Pearce and Hindman. Pearce’s name is placed first, because he was Brigadier General at that time-Hindman being only Col. Contrast the result of the transfer of the two armies.

Does anyone know the story of Hindman's conduct with Mitchell's 14th that Burgevin is referring to?

Does anyone have a copy of Hindman's Letter that Burgevin is responding to?
