DEAR SIH-I regret very much that
so long a time has passed without my

beautiful resolutions offered by the
Survivors of Gen. lluois Texas
Brigade.
could have asked friends to an
swcr your letter for NE daring my

myself and assure the Confederate
soldiers who so tonchin@|y remember
ed my husband in words of praise,
that most sincerely appreciate their
kindness.
I Lam so glad to tell you how much
admiration Gen. Custer felt for the
courage and endurance of the South

higher and better nature Of men when
soldiers can admire the heloiSm of
each other. even when differing in
sentiment aud belief.
We had the privilege of becoming
