preston Of the deep feeling of my heart
to you, and to the officers and soldiers of
the battalion for their kind behavior to
my poor child. realize that you all feel
for my family the attachment of kindred,

Consistent with sense of duty to my
profession and officers, / could not leave
my post, and sent for the family to come
to me in that fatal climate, and in that
sickly period of the year, and behold
the result! The child who bore my
name, and whose future reposed more
confidence than did in my own plan of
life, now floats mere corpse, seeking a
grave in distant land, with a weeping
mother, brother and sisters clustered
about him. For myself, I ask no SYM
pathy. Oh! no, must go and meet
soldiers fate, or live to see our coun.
try rise superior to all factions, till our
flag is adored and respected by ourself
and by all the powers on earth.
"But Willie was, or thought he was,
a Sergeant in the Thirteenth. Ihave
seen his eye brighten, his heart beat,
as he behcld the battalion under
arms, and asked me if they were not
real soldiers. Child as he was, he lad
the enthusiasm, the pure love of truth,
honor and love of country which should
animate all soldiers. God only knows
why he should die thus young. He is
dead, but will not be forgotten till
those who knew him in life have follow.
ed him to that same mysterious end.
please conv,y to tho battalion my
heart felt thanks, and assure each and
all that If in after years they call on mo
or mine, and mention that they were of
the Thirteenth regulars when Willie
was sergeant, they will have key to
the affections of my family that will
open all it has; that we will! share with
them our last blanket, our last crust.
