Already we have spoken OF Col. Walter, but
little deemed he would be taken sudden
" from us. If we could we would weap. If
We could mourn we would mourn. If we could
tell the woe and the heartaches there would be
mourning, there would be all that sorrow and
distress could ask, but the silence of the tomb
pervades the hearts of our little band. The
best have gone down and we have asked others
to take their places. In not an instance have
we seen the one that would refuse to take his
MA yh ia
time for compliments, but when the day comes
the public shall know who has stood by US.
We said we had tears, but there is time
when they flow and that is when we read the
kilograms, the letters from friends far away.
Tell them they give heart and make us
stronger, better and brighter. But for this we
would feel heartsick and weary and our suffer-
ing people tender their prayerful thanks to the
kind and generous assistance friends in all
parts of the Union have given.
