The comrades met me at the depot, and are doing
all that fraterna hearts can prompt for my com

nooSa and Mission Ridge, with Lookout Mount
ain III the distance. and on the other where the
fierce and dreadful battle Of Cbiekamauga
took place. What thoughts were mine while
standing therel II seemed almost sin TO speak.
We also went to the National Cemetry and what

could go through IT, What inspiration! Row
after row Of heHdstOnes and beneath each a stled
