my of the Potomac was in great measure
made up of troops from the Eastern and Mid
die States, yet the states west of the AIleghen-
les had misrepresentation in that army,
and in the Society of theArmy of the Potomac
should be proportionately strong Owing to
the fact that the annual communions of the
Society have hitherto been held in the sea-
board cities, Western members have not par
ticipated in them to any great extent but this
year Eastern members have conceded TO
Western the place of meeting, and hope to
meet their Western comrades there in such
numbers as will Justify their expectation in
fixing upon Cleveland instead Of an Eastern
city. Rally on Cleveland. All soldiers of
other armies are invited to participate.
