served in the war on the union side.
My father was one of the first colored
men that enlisted from this State I'M

of my brothers also enlisted. Three
were killed in battle; two at Deep
Bottom, and the other at Chew Market
Heights. The remaining brother and
father survive. At their request
send you this note to say that thev
both heartily approve of your sug-
SeStlon for reunion. | am requested
TO say for them, further, that they
hope To see a monument erected to the
colored soldier in the war for the
Union. ere they so to join their COM
radeS who lie on Fame's eternal camp
ing ground.
We have a neighbor whose husband
was shot down on the battle field with
the colorS of his regiment in his hand.
The widow has a medal of honor that
was sent to her 10y Congress, through
the President, for his distinguished
bravery on the battle field, September
%. 1864.
There are many in this locality that
served in the army during the war,
and no doubt would feel glad to attend
a reunion of their old comrades.
Enclosed, find subscription amount
for one year. L admire the peerless
and vigorous tone of your paper. You
do not seem to be ashamed of your
race, or afraid to speak for it when
assaulted.
