m, for he was to them a comrade--dear as the child is loved
by men who are torn away from the associations of home. General
Sherman, the great soldier, was touched by it. He said it would be
idle for him to try to express the gratitude which he felt; but he
said they held the key to the affections of himself and family, and
if any of them should ever be in need, if they would mention that
they belonged to the Thirteenth Infantry at the time his boy died,
they would divide with him the last blanket, and last morsel of
food. It is in this spirit that I wish to express my thanks to the
people of Fremont for the welcome they have given me. I bid you, my
friends, good night.
