The following letter was received
by the Lincoln Post G.. A. r., of
this place. The post took charge of
the body or Mr.. Weber, who was
killed on the B. q o. r. r.. week
before last, and sent it to bis wife,
accompanied by an escort. The let
ter below from Mrs. Weber, is an
acknowledgement Of the kindness Of
the Post.
July 9th, 1882.
Kind Friends Of the Post:
thank you all, from the bottom
of my heart, for your kindness to my
husband-your comrade through the
war. Little did | think that he who
had braved the lannon's mouth and
stood amid the thunder of shot and
shell during four years of war,
would meet such a terrible death.
But, Gods will be done. 1t was so
kind in you, gentlemen, comrades of
my deceased husband, and friends
of mine, to take charge of his body
and have it sent to me. / thank you
on behalf of myself and children,
and / trust you will receive your
reward III the great hereafter. May
God add blessing upon blessing on
you all, is the sincere wish of an al
most distracted widow and mother.
MRS. MARY WEBER.
