2418 NEW YORK, December 28, 1880. COL. WM. F. CODY: DEAR SIR, -- Recalling the many facts that came to me while I was Adjutant-General of the Division of the Missouri, under General Sheridan, bearing upon your efficiency, fidelity, and daring as a guide and scout over the country west of the Missouri River and east of the Rocky Mountains, I take pleasure in observing your success in depicting in the East the early life of the West. Very truly yours, JAMES B FRY, HEADQUARTERS ARMY OF THE UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, D. C., January 7, 1887. COL. WM. F. CODY was a scout, and served in my command on the Westen frontier for many years. He was always ready for duty, and was a cool, brave man, with unimpeachable character. I take pleasure in commending him for the many services he has rendered to the Army, whose respect he enjoys for his many qualities. P. H. SHERIDAN, BUFFALO BILL GUIDING GENERAL SHERIDAN'S RELIEF TRAIN IN WINTER, 1868. UNITED STATES MILITARY ACADEMY, WEST POINT, N. Y., January 11, 1887. I have known W. F. CODY (Buffalo Bill) for many years. He is a Western man of the best type, combining those qualities of enterprise, daring, good sense, and physical endurance which made him the superior of any scout I ever knew. He was cool and capable when surrounded by dangers, and his reports were always free from exaggeration. He is a gentleman in that better sense of the world which implies character, and he may be depended on under all circumstances. I wish him success. W. MERRITT, Brevet Major-General, U. S. A. Late Major-General Volunteers. OMAHA, NEB., January 7, 1887. HON. WM. F. CODY: DEAR SIR,-I take great pleasure in testifying to the very efficient service rendered by you "as a scout," in the campaign against the Sioux Indians, during the year 1876. Also, that I have witnessed your Wild West Exhibition. I consider it the most realistic performance of the kind I have ever seen. Very sincerely, your obedient servant, GEORGE CROOK, Brigadlier-General, U. S. A. | 2418 NEW YORK, December 28, 1880. COL. WM. F.
