Excerpt from General Grant's Unpublished Correspondence
But the correspondence exhibits him in a still better and grander aspect. When he had time to examine for himself the merits of the case, he rose superior to all selfish motives, quickly saw the errors into which he had fallen, and with all the noble instincts of his nature continuously labored to correct his former mistake and to remove a burden which he now saw had been so unjustly placed on an innocent man. Grant felt keenly the injustice he had so unwittingly done to Porter, and he strove to the utmost of his ability to undo the wrong. He took no undecided step in this direction no half-way measures would answer his purpose, so he threw himself with all the energy of his determined nature into the case, and made no uncertain sound.
