OF record by the Historical Society. Ian,
attending n gentleman professionally who
was in the cavalry company Of Captain Lit
tlebury w. Allen, whom you and / know
very we'll. My patient tells me it was always
the habit in the early years Of the war for
Captain Allen to have prayer in his com.
pany daily, and that one OF his most earn.
est petitions was that the company might be
granted the great privilege Of ''t,oo .fghtse
aoeee till this cruel and uuighteous toar ,oaS
OreT." On one occasion, while this prayer
was being offered, my informant happened
to be seated between two brothers, who were
good Methodists and highly esteemed by
Captain Allen, who was Baptist. These
brothers We're generally very earnest In
their ''Amens TO the Captains petitions.
but on this occasion my friend noticed thai
no response was made TO the "two fights .
week." and, jogging them in the sides,
asked, "Why don't You say amen?,''.
"Oh" said one OF the pious brothers, g tlat
is too mach!''
When the Captain charged the enemy he
would always ride out in front OF bis men
and exciaim in the most animated manner,
