honor of General Stephen Lees mem
ory, as less than two years ago, he,
my kind friend and hospitable host,
took me over these very historic
grounds at Vicksburg, and we recall
ed together the incidents of the fear
full struggle which occurred here, in
1863, where he and I had both been
wounded, General Lee serving during
that struggle, as a distinguished Of
icer Of the Confederate army, and /
being with my father, who command
ed the forces Of the opposing Union
army. We talked over the battles Of
the. past with no feelings of bitter
ness, but only with rejoicings, that
peace had been established and that
harmony, patriotism and loyalty to
one flag, now exist throughout our
great land.
"In the shadow of this beautiful
statue, built to the memory of this
knightly and chivalric soldier, I am
glad to recall the earnest wish cher
ished constantly by my own dear
father, Generela Ulsysses S. Grant,
for peace and harmony among the,
American people. This wish was
shown in the terms granted here at
.Vicksburg, and also Aprils9 1865,
when at Appomattox, upon reading
that the side arms, horses and private
property Of his officers and enlisted
men could be retained by them, Gen.
eral Robert E. Lee said to General
Grant, These terms will have, in
deed, a most happy effect upon my
army, and upon the whole South.
''I am glad to recall that this SEN
tence for harmony between the North
and the South, begun at Appomattox,
was cherished by General Grant ,,n-.
til the end of his life, as shown by
him, during the administration Of
President johnson and the Recon-
struction period, when General Grant
stood firmly and 'determinedly,' for
the promises he had given to General
Robert E. Lee and to the South, as
he did also, throughout his own two
administrations, as President of the
United States, even up to the last
hours of his existence. This is evident
in message written by General
Grant during his last illness, after
the loss of his voice, to one Of the
physicians attending him, short
time before his death, Of which mes
sage, I will read O few lines:
"My father wrote: Il am thankful
for the providential extension of my.
time, because it has enabled me to
see for myself the happy harmony
that has SO suddenly sprung up be-
tween those engaged a few short
years ago, in deadly conflict. IT has
been an inestimable blessing to me,
to hear the kind expressions toward
ME, in person, from all parts of our
country, from people Of all nationali-
ties, of Ill religions, an from Con-
federate and National troops alike
they have brought joy to my heart Of
they have not effected cure. ."
