to meet yearly in a grand soldiers’ re-

that the occasion will be one of more
than usual interest. The “Blue” and
the “Gray” standing shoulder to
shoulder in front of this sacrificial al-
tar of liberty whose moss-covered
stones still bear the stains of the blood
af the iieroes who there gave up their
lives that Texas might be free will
pledge anew their fealty to this great
government of ours and sir. we have
presumed to extend to the chief execu-
tive of this great nation an invitation
to be present and join with us in mak-
ing it an occasion forever to be cher-
ished and remembered.
Trusting that your official duties
will perm.t you to visit this far away
city of the great Southwest we sub-
scribe ourselves.
