Letters of General Joseph R. Hawley to Charles Dudley Warner, The Hartford Daily Times, December 26, 1929. Though only a colonel, Hawley was given command of a brigade at Morris Island, a high compliment to him as there were plenty of brigadiers available. General Gillmore preferred Hawley. The latter was incensed at the procrastinating methods of Admiral Dahlgren, commanding the naval vessels supporting Gillmore’s assault upon Charleston. He fumed about it in letters to Warner. Hawley wanted to buy out John Hooker’s share of the Press after the war.
