Sword Presentation.
lconespondenee N 4 h Nashville Union. !


FoKr GILLIAN, Tenn, May 20, 1864
It is a delightful thing to see officers
and men in the service mutually and
socially attached to each other. This
is as it should be in every Regiment and
in all Companies in the service Good
officers make, in majority of cases,
good privates-and good priyates make
good officers. A vigorous prosecution
of the war is essentially necessary, and
to do this rightly il win require good,
faithful, and obedient privates, as well
as good officers.
In token Of the high appreciation OF
his goodness as an officer and gentle
man, the non-commissioned officers and
priyates of Co. J." 10th Tennessee In
fantry, have by contribution purchased
a sword and presented to their worthy
Captain, NJ l. Moore
Captain Moore received the sword,
and assured the men of his Company
that no one could more highly appreci-
ate such token of respect than him
self
Il is nice thing to see officers and
men work tremendously together-then
each others true estimate is fully ap-
preciated The presentation Of the
sword TO Captain Moore could not have
been more worthily bestowed Such
manifestations of respect and apprecia-
ton are worthy Of publicity.
Yours with respect, FRS,
One OF the 10th Tenn. Infantry.
