learned with sorrow that the colonel who
led them a generation ago amid the
carnage of the Overland campaign, and
into the crater at Petersburg, died at his
home in Kittery on July 18th, 1897, desire
to testify to the respect, esteem and love
which they have ever entertained toward
Gen. Mark +. Wentworth, and their deep
regret that in this life they may never
again look upon his face. AS an express
sion of sympathy with the widow and
family they would beg to assure the be-
reaved ones that their grief is shared by
the men whom he commanded and that
his military services will not fail of re-
shall survive.
