There was only n small number pres

Mr.. Pratt said, in part:
'As we stand among these graves we
would allow no spirit OF sectionalism
to blight the homage of memory and
appreciation with which we place our
flowers upon these mounds. The years
have helped the people OF this nation
TO better interpret the meaning and
real inspiration OF the great struggle.
With their clarifying influence we bet
ter appreciate the part each side took
in the tragic conflict.
The time has come when sectional
lines cannot limit respect and full rec

devoted loyalty. Our country would
now recognize as a national heritage

were destined for fredericksburg to
unite with General Pope. When ex-
changed he hurried to Richmond and
impaired the information to General

of the principal causes for allowing
