10 the Survivors OF Eetors Brigade.
Nayasots, Texas, March S.--Comrades:
There will be reunion of the old Confed-
ate soldiers held In the city OF Dallas on
April % % and "a This, perhaps, will
be the last opportunity many OF US will
have to meet together In body When
am reminded OF the fact that only a few
Of Us were permitted TO return to our
homes after nearly four years OF bloody
strife upon more than thirty battlehelds.
l feel that there IS kindred tie that
binds US together such as ouly death can
sever. The Tccollectl0ns OF conflicts and
our sutferings are with me yet like some
dreams untold, aud when thoughts recall
the past they make up green spot In
our memories never TO be forgotten.

addressing YOU by reference 70 the vari

events happening during the war YOU viii,
