The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-09-28

W. N. N, Box SO, Glendale, n Y, writes
that he is an old veteran, who would like to
find q place to board for himself and wife
where the climate is equable and mild and
dry high pine land is best, as the writer
has lung trouble. Comrades west of Georgia
need not answer. State terms. Veterans
private family desired.
W. G. Cohoon, Belvidere, H., wants to
hear from the comrade who signed himself
M. NJ, of New Birmingham, Tex, in our
issue of May 25. 1t is always best for writ
ers to give their names as well as addresses
for publication with articles, as well as for
for the Editors information, unless there is
some special reason for not doing so, as the
Editor cannot keep track of assumed names
or initials, and much embarrassment would
be avoided by this course.
Scattering.
w. Fl. Cole, Sergeant, Co. G, 126th Il. Y,
Fayette, o., writes: "The account and pic
ture given in your last issue of the cooper
shop Philadelphia, Pa, brought to me
memories of that place that | shall never
forget; especially how those loyal women
worked all night long administering to our
wants as we were carried in there q few
days after the battle of Gettysburg. How
thankful they were that we were victorious |!
| also noticed an account of the 126th n. 7.
Anything pertaining to the 126th n. Y. is
always read with interest. / only wish
that more of the boys would let US hear
from them through your paper. II any of
the boys who attended the last Reunion can
tell how many are living and how many
have answered to the last r0ll-call since the
war, l should be glad to hear from them"
j. b. Inman, Co. K, I'd Mich. Cav, Duluth,
Mimi, replying to recent complaint from
a member of his regiment that the old boys
do not write to THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE,
says he does for one, but himself wishes he
could see more from the men who marched,
bivOuacked, and fought at his side. He
thinks all the comrades should take the
paper and write their most interesting ex-
periences to the Editor, which, if they are
good, will be published every time. He
thinks that if Charley Campbell who made
the complaint, will read the paper more
carefully, he will be sure to find something
from some one of the regiment once in
while at least.
Brothers Companies.
Fl. A. Dudley, Co. Z, 9Th Vt, South Lon
donderry, VT, thinks that his company
heads the list for having brothers in COM
panies. There were five brothers and one
NONH'AA y
man, two Burtons, two Hills, two Gleasons,
two Lackeys, all from the town of Manches-
ter; two Kngsburys from Jamaica; two
Andrews from Arlington; two Morses from
Duxbury; two WIlliamses from Winhail; two
Trenches from Barre; father and son named
Scott; two Searles from Pawlet. At Savage
Station, June 20, 1862, four of the Cum
mingses brother and the cousin, were
killed or MORALLY wounded, and the remain
der was wounded and later discharged. One
of the Burtons was killed at the same time.
Homes for Settlers.
Nat Mulin, Co. II, 10th ILL.,, Melrose, Fla,
writes that in his region they have almost
perpetual Summer, and not uncomf ortably
warm as might be supposed. Situated
as they are between two large bodies of
water, there is usually plenty of fresh breezes
and pure water. Instead of preparing for
the blasts of Winter, the farmers are putting
out their early vegetables and looking for
ward to the finest season of the year.
