To the Governor of Virginia:
THE thirty-sixth national encamp-

,er. beginning or the 9th day of that
MONTH The indications are that great
numbers will visit the battlefelds near
he Nations Capital. and particularly
hose conflicts in the State of Virginia.
1T is quite unnecessary to attempt to
uggest TO Virginian disposition of
hat hospitality for which he is Justly
AIMED, but | am sure that any cour-
estes that the people of the State may
ee fit to extend to the Union veterans
Turing their visit will be as deeply ap-
'reciated as they will be gratefully re-
nembered
Il am, sir, with great respect. very
ruly yours. BARRY BULKLEY.
