"After some conversation on the current war news we retired, and I immediately proceeded to my room and wrote out this paper. "J. W. CRISFIELD." "We were present at the interview described in the foregoing paper of Mr. Crisfield, and we certify that the substance of what passed on the occasion is in this paper, faithfully and fully given. "J.
