The old MCGEE House is still standing,
as are other buildings which were there
during the war. and we found that some
of the fields had grown up in timber since
the battles.
On our return to Seven Pines we pass
ed McClelIan's old headquarters, large,
rambling house, which has withstood the
years, and the sun was low in the west
when we jumped from our wagon, patted
the old mule on the back and took the
traction for Richmond.
Throughout the whole trip We were cor
daily received and well treated by all. The
ex- Confederates were especially kind to
us. We were invited to a business meet
ing of r. E. Lee Camp in Richmond, and
the manner of our reception there showed
Enthusiastically that the war is over. Every

the war from the Confederate side. There
are empty sleeves in gray down in Nir-

We saw a good deal of poor country;

The trip can be made without much cost.
Teams and guides are not expensive; but
soldiers somewhat acquainted with the
LAY of the land" could make the trip at
less cost than we did. 1t will well repay

go down over the fields where in his
young manhood he followed the flag and

been so general that to give 1t in detail
would require much space. However, a few
deserve special mention.
John F. Godfrey Corps, I3, has a member

last year. This Corps has a Thlmble So
cety, which meets at stated intervals at the
home OF some members. This society last
