342 THE MAINE BUGLE.
the late demonstration of anarchy had the call been made I
would gladly have marched again to the tune of the fife and
drum. Please let the boys of Company E know that I am still
above ground and although I am away out here in this land of
sage brush and cactus yet in spirit I shall be with them on this
occasion." Isaiah O. Richardson, West Ellsworth; J. W. Rus-
sell, St. John, N. B. ; S. K. Stetson, Houlton.
S. C. Smith, Winfield, Kan., writes: "Nothing would afford
me more pleasure than to meet ' ' the boys once more, but I am
too far away to do so now. In these times of faltering patriot-
ism in high places it is well for those who defended the nation's
life and honor in times of peril to stand by each other now,
determined that what we saved shall not now be lost." T. J. San-
ford, Marlboro, Mass., writes : " I should enjoy it right royally.
Remember me to the boys." Theodore M. Southard, Vassalboro
; F. E. Saunders, Lowell, Mass. ; Luther Tibbetts, New-
field, writes : " It would give me pleasure to meet with the old
' boys '
of the grand old regiment once more. My thoughts
and good wishes will be with you but myself must be at home."
John F. Tolman, Six Mile Falls; J. P. Thompson, Duluth,
Minn.; Cyrus W. Twitchell, So. Paris; Major S. W. Thaxter,
Portland ; Francis L. Town, East Dover ; Francis E. Towle,
6 Lincoln Square, Worcester, Mass. ; C. E. York, The Forks
W. A. Vinal, West Upton, Mass. ; J. B. Welch, Rockwood,
Tenn. ; L. W. Wheeler, Paw Paw, 111., writes: " I can not grasp
the hand and recall the stirring days of '62 once more with the
• ' boys
of the old First Maine Regiment but remember I am
with you in spirit." T. M. Williams, Milltown, N. B. ; Richard
Webb, Brunswick; Capt. T. C. Webber, Boston, Mass.; J. M.
Warren, Northampton, Mass., writes : " The nearest I can come
to attending is to have my son, who is visiting his uncle Charles
G. Tilton of your town, try to make the acquaintance of the
old regiment. He is but six years old but he will be glad to
see men who were comrades of his ' ' papa
in the war of '61."
