The National Tribune of June %. cur
rent year, published n letter from Com
rade Maj. J. f. Chapman, 122d Ill.,, of
Moline. Kan. The appearance of that
letter melted many old comrades to write
to Maj. Chapman. who, while visiting a
daughter at Ponca City. Okla, died on
July %. A number of letters were for
warded to him there, and those were
probably not answered, as he WIS not then
able to write. A large number of later
letters were answered by his son, s. e.
Chapman. Maj. Chapman possessed the
love Of his army comrades and enjoyed
the respect Of his neighbors, regardless

he not absolutely refused to be again
nominated for the place.
