have performed every duty
required of you while I have the honor to be your commander.
Wishing you every success that you can desire, and trusting you
may find in your restored firesides all the comfort and
happiness you have so nobly earned, I bid you an affectionate
farewell.

JOHN H. BURNHAM,
Lieutenant-Colonel 16th Conn. Vols. Infantry.

On July 8th, the regiment assembled in Hartford, and were paid in
full, except the officers who received their pay when returns were
made and all property properly accounted for. Thus ended the
organization known as the Sixteenth Regiment Connecticut Volunteers.
Its record is a credit to the State and an honor to every man who has
shared in its fortunes.
