was invited to be there by Gen, Sickles. 1t
was Longstreet's command that fought the
Third corps the hardest. Thank God, the
bitter feelings of those days are almost
wiped out. A touching, beautiful letter
was written by Congressman Barksdale, OF
mississippi, in answer. to an invitation to be
present. He is the brother of Gen. Banks
dale, who was in the Gettysburg fight. Gen.
Barksdale himself was a member of con-

the melee at the time Charles Sumner was
struck down, Potter, of Wisconsin, snatched
Barksdale's wig off. In his excitement Potter,
not knowing it was a wig, was almost wild

In answer to the invitation Congressman
Barksdale writes:
