entitled to meet in convention and to have
weight accorded to their views than the
veteran soldiers who risked their lives for
the honor and perpetuity Of their country.
am convinced their councils will be mark

meeting of so many comrades will be a
joyous and advantageous one. | wish for
you all that you expect from your meeting

cannot be with you on that occasion. With
great respect, your obedient servant,
