Reunion Co. D.,_ First Fa. Cavalry, C. S. A. 47
regiment, o/d brigade, and old division, and I must see the old fellows once more before I die. I have promised to speak, out in your direc- tion during the pending presidential political campaign. Why could we not have a meeting at some day at that time ? So get the veterans oh, I can't call them veterans get the "boys" together when I can be present, and we will have a good time by "jining the cavalry" again.
Yours, very sincerely,
FITZ. LEE.
ABINGDON, June 13, 1892. Colonel WILLIAM A. MORGAN,
Shepherdstown, West Virginia :
DEAR COLONEL There is to be a reunion of the survivors of Company D, First Virginia Regiment Cavalry, at this place on the 4th of July next, and I have been directed to notify you of the fact, and extend to you a cordial and pressing invitation to be present and participate in the reunion.
In extending you this invitation I beg to say that I consider it not only most fitting but most desirable that you, the last colonel of the " Old First," should come to this reunion, and give the old soldiers of your command, who may be present, an opportunity to see again a gallant officer who never failed to lead his regiment properly, and who also, as a kind and considerate commander, endeared himself to his men.
It is hoped, Colonel, that you will come. Company D often responded to your call ; will you not now respond to this call of its survivors?
Respectfully and truly yours,
R. M. PAGE.
SHEPHERDSTOWN, W. VA., June 2j, 1892. Mr. R. M. PAGE :
