3. The thirty-first national encampment
held in Buffalo, August % to IS, 1897. will
no doubt be recorded in the history of
the G. A. r. as one of the best encamp-
ments ever held. The splendor of the pa
rade defies description. The enthusiasm
was unbounded.
1t is a great pleasure to be able to state
that the department of Maine was well
represented by the very considerable
number attending and participating in
the great parade.-seventy-f comrades
Of this department being in line.
No portion of the American Union was
unrepresented at that gathering. To
have been there and for a brief time live
over again those marvellous days from
81 to 49, was great opportunity and a
great privilege.
The department Of Maine evoked
marked approval from the great thrOngs
of people the entire length of the parade.
To be at the head. as commander of the
department of Maine, is the highest hon.
or that can come to comrade, and 1t is
especially gratifying to be able to say
that the comrades of Maine received, and
deservedly so, as much attention and
were accorded at least as much applause
as any department in the line.
The trip was most enjoyable one from
start to finish. Nothing occurred to mar
the enjoyment of a single comrade, their
wives or friends.
Every arrangement and every detail of
the trip seemed to be perfect and were
greatly appreciated.
I gratefully acknowledge the services of
the assistant adjutant general, the assis-
tant quartermaster general, of each mem
Der of my staff and every comrade. who
all seemed to vie with each other to do all
in their power to have grand time and
a grand encampment.
The kindness and delicate consideration
shown me by all. in my weak physical
condition, l shall never forget, and cher
ism it always in my heart.
To one and all l return my sincere
thanks.
