RESOLUTION ADOPTED AT
THE LATE REUNION u. C.
", AT OXFORD, MISS.

Offered by Comrade E T. Sykes,
as the action of the Committee on
Resolutions:
Comrades -
Doubtless most of you have
missed from our annual conven-
ton here the face and voice of one
who has rarely before been alb
sent, yea, seldom since the organi-
cation Of this Division has the alb
sence therefrom of the smiling
countenance, the genial hand
shake and loyal heart, yea the
hearty greetings of Comrade Pat
Henry to and for his comrades of
Sixties been wanting, and by most
of us sadly commented on, partic-
ularly by those he so CALAMITY led
on the bloody battle-fields.
AS explanatory of his absence
a communication received from
him, we learn that his physical in
disposition and the fear of fatal
breakdown would follow his expos
ure at this time, is the sole and
only cause of his absence.
In view of the foregoing, it ap-
pears by the committee to be emil
nently fitting that this convention
watt greetings to our beloved
comrade, and expressions Of our
sorrow that he is not with us.
Accordingly, l move that such
be now taken by "a rising vote, and
that the results be emphasized by
the vote of every Veteran, Daught-
er, and descendant of such pres
ent rising to his or her feet.
In conformity with the above
resolution it was on motion
unanimously adopted by rising
vote.

l feel very grateful to my Com
rade Gen. Sykes, for his kindly re-
membrance, and the very kind
words expressed in the above res
olution, and to my old Comrades
who so generously adopted it. My
heart goes out to each of them in
gratitude. 1t was "a sad disap-
pointment to me, that my ccndi-
ton precluded my attendance at
Oxford, as it is always one of my
chiefest pleasures to be with my
Comrades in our annual gather
ings. This resolution comes to me
like benson, the more apprecia-
ted, that it comes from loyal
hearts of Comrades, whom / love,
and revere. May God bless them,
one and all.
