In this address it is unnecessary to
state at length the Joyous and profitable
effects Of such an occasion. This will be
at once apparent to every comrade with
out argument. Nor, as reasons for such
Reunion, is it necessary to rehearse the
history Of the Cavalry Corps. To do this
would be to repeat from beginning to end
the history of the Army of the Potomac
and its glorious achievements.
To every comrade, then, who feels the
blood stir within his veins at the mention
of the Cavalry Corps; to every cOmrade
who rcverences the memory Of its gal

touch elbows and drink from the same
canteen with those who still survive, We
address these words, and beg him to be
present to meet his old comrades on the
banks of the Potomac in those coming
days of October, in Fraternity, Charity,
and Loyalty.
