Description

"Headquarters U.S.M.C. Washington, Nov. 21, 1863

Dear parents, A quick event in my usually quiet life has happened since I last wrote you. On Wednesday, I had the honor to attend the President of the United States, as one of his temporary staff to the battlefield of Gettysburg, and to the solemn consecration of the National Sol- dier’s Cemetery. We left Washington in a special train about noon, and reached Gettysburg at six P.M. after a pleasant and rapid run. The telegraph had announced our coming and Mr. Wills and Chief Marshal Lamon had provided for the Presidential party the finest accommodations in the town."
