She was right about it. l did not

There was indeed quite crowd
around the city hall. 1 met several
persons I had never seen before.
Among others there were about 200
different men who offered to present
me with Gen Grants picture. There
were others who offered me badges
and me6allons. 1t was evident that
there was no longer any north or
south, so I said to myself: Sheridan
