Among the letters left among the eff
Il Gets OF the late Col. Edwin r.. Apple-
gate, was the one printed below from
Capt. Albert s. Cloke, then a lawyer in
Jersey City, who died a few years later.
Jersey City, Jan. 20, 1884.
Dear Colonel: read in your paper
that suggestion has been made to
hold a reunion of the goth N. j. Vols,
at Freehold, early next Summer. l
am heartily in accord with the move
ment and | promise to tell the boys on
that occasion the old story Of my re-
ceiving Richmond paper for a pen
knife across the Rappahanock River
from Capt. Hunter, Of the Goth Georgia,
one pleasant Sunday morning when it
would have been better for me if had
stayed IN camp to hear the Chaplain
preach.
Not long ago wrote to Georgia di-
recting my letter to Capt. Hunter,
late of the goth Georgia Regiment" and
| was pleased not long afterward to re-
ceive reply from Albert s. Hunter, a
law student at Quitman in that state,
in which he informed me that his father,
the Captain, was killed later in the war,
and that the family treasured as prec-
ious relic, that pen-knife, his father had
received across the river from North
ern officer up in Virginia during the
war. The young gentleman also cor
daily invited me to come to Quit
man, near the Florida border and
i spend month or two with them.
j Ny letter, of course, was q mere
guess, that 1t would ever reach its
intended destination, but it did.
Had it not been for the sending of
that psn-knife. probably you'd new
or have had a conversation with Pres
ident Lincoln, rs did shortly after :
wards during the unpleasantness, and
which I now by no means regret. Well
we will talk about all these things
when we meet and more besides.
Gen. Psol, our brigade commander
who liked the Jersey boys, and who
lost both eyes at Petersburgh, per-
haps you know, is dead. A brave chris
tian gentleman soldier.
Quite a number of my Ocean Coun-
ty boys, who used to sing their sea
songs on the march are hearty, broad
shouldered sailors now, well to do and
when they come to port they call on
me. One of them brought me a young
alligator and another bunch of ba-
nanas not long ago and another piect
of coral.
Yours, &C.,
Albert s. Cloke.
