Flag of the 18th Pa.

Editor National Tribune: Henry II.
Gushee is still agitated about the flag
of the 18th Pa. To satisfy his mind !
will state that the flag that was pre-
sented by the Governor to the 18th Pa.
was turned over to the Governor of
the State, and if Mr.. Gushee goes to
Harrisburg he can see it there in the
room where all regimental flags are
kept. The first flag was presented by
Gen. Negley to the 18th Pa. at Pitts
burg. I was the color-bearer, and after
the last battle of Stone River we re-
ceived the new flag, the one now at
Harrisburg. I never saw the old flag
until the Reunion of the 18th Pa. at
New Bethlehem. when by a vote of all
members present it was turned over to
me- as the old color-bearer, for safe
keeping. My house was burnt and the
flag also. 1 did obey orders, and turn
the State flag over to the Governor at
Philadelphia. I fail to find Gushee's
