writes : " Nothing would please me more than to attend the
reunion of the First Maine Cavalry and see some of the boys I
love so well." G. W. Bryant, West Paris, writes : " It would
give me great pleasure to meet the comrades at your place on
the Twenty-third Annual Reunion did I have the health and

enough to any man to have belonged to the First Maine Cav-
alry.' " S. M. Clark, Masardis, writes: "Let my dream be the
answer. Last night I was with you and I saw your old faces in
dreamland again. There was Thaxter and Estes, Beede and
Burrill and others, as natural as ever. I saw them again at our
picket fire out on the old Rappahannock." J. L. Colcord, Boston,
