New York had guarded well the sacred ashes
entrusted to her care. and FASTENED to respond to
the call of Virginia when she demanded the dust
Of her beloved son.
1t is an event not soon to be forgotten, It 10 in
iced already part Of History, and your aba cld
eloquent address at the tomb of the great man
whom We had met to honor, was scortty IF the 0c
cdssoa. and We can pronounce no higher eulogium
The address will never be Ell ICED from our memo
ries. 1t eiicited hearty reponse from every
heart; II breathed no partizan spirit; there was
nothing narrow or sectional in its tone but il
vas as broad aud catholic as the sun that shown
yer our heads, and the breeze that famed our
brows.
We are confident We express the sentiments of
the entire Regiment when We say it added new
iiganeLt to the bonds which hold together our
vast Republic. - "a ss.t
We left your noble State better Patriots, and
felt after having orshipped together the altar,
of your mighty dead, that ''e'en in their ashe,
iige their woused arss," and that we were indeed
brethren iaboring together in the sublime caus,
Of common humanity.
With the highest esteem,
We remain your obedieut servants,
