The Fitz John Porter Case commission report
The commission argues Porter faced unjust condemnation and should be restored to service. It states McDowell and Pope misread the situation, Porter acted under orders, and his conduct on August 29 saved the Union army. It condemns his later distrustful remarks as indiscreet but not criminal.

Wells College founder Henry Wells dies in penury
Henry Wells the expressman and founder of Wells College at Aurora dies in straitened circumstances. His flue residence and a rare collection of paintings and statuary are to be sold.
