MRS. CHAPIN'S PRESENTATION ADDRESS.
Mr. President and Comrades:
It seems but yesterday that we were the guests of our comrades at Kilbourn City who gave us such a hearty welcome, aud
worked so untiringly for our pleasure am] comfort. It has been a
sweet memory that has followed me all the past year. These
reunions make us realize the fleeting of time more than anything
in our lives. Each year seems to grow shorter ami wh<>n we re
call how few are the years we have left, every reunion seems more
sacred. The loyal ha nils
jfc^, that greet us will soon ceas.'

at every meeting we find
that many links in the chain
that binds us as a family

sore, weary marches, no
more hunger and thirst for

think of that terrible march
from Stevenson to Nashville
and Louisville, and all the
other hardships you endured
afterward, the wonderis that
there is a comrade left for
MRS. SARAH H. CHAPIN. tM* Ehering tonight. I
have always felt that had
that grand old general, 0. M. Mitchell, been left in command of
your division, you would have been spared many of the hardships
you endured. He was a man with a heart, who looked alter his
men with a fatherly interest, and it seemed a cruel fate that his
life should have been sacrificed as it was. I met a comrade in
Chicago last winter who said he had never been reconciled to the
sacrifice of Gen. Mitchell's life to give another man a position—
