T. T. Anderson, Dear Comrade :- It will be impossible for me to attend the reunion. You may tell the boys I am well and we have a splendid crop of corn this year. May the Lord bless you all is my wish. J. E. MCALLASTER.

Comrade of the old 2d lowa Cavalry :-- Yours of June 25th received. The mistake in the address caused some delay but I got it all the same. My health has been poor for the past year, but I shall do some hard kickin' to grab a root and go and greet the old boys of yore. S. B. FOX.

T. T. Anderson, Dear Comrade :- Your card of June 25th received; with much regret I must inform you that I will not be able to enjoy the pleasure of meeting my old comrades in October next. 73 years tells why I cannot meet with you. Yours, I. N. FUNK
JACKSON, Miss., Ang. 16, '95.
T. T. Anderson, Dear Comrade :- Your card giving notice of the reunion of the 2d Cavalry, Oct. 2-3 is received. And I regret to say that I will be unable to attend owing to the distance and matters of business which will require my attention at that time. However if I cannot meet with the boys in reunion it is not because of a desire to remain away, as no meeting would give me more pleasure than to meet and talk over old times with them I never missed one of our reunions until I left the state, and I remember them all with pleas- ure. Remember me to all the boys, especially to Co. K., and say to them that I am located among our old enemies, but I find them a very pleasant people as associates and no better neighbors in the world, kind and hospitable, always ready to do a favor even for a "yank." My best wishes for the success of the reunion and all the members of the old 2d Cavalry. Fraternally Yours,
A. ALLEN. TIPTON, IA., Sept. 29, '95.
Dear Comrade :- I am sorry that [ cannot be with you, but times are close at present but if I live and keep my health I will be with you the next time. Give my respects to all of the old comrades. From your comrade,
JOHN BICKFORD.
BAXTER SPRINGS, KAS., Sept. 26, '95.
Dear Comrade Tom :- I received your kind and welcome invitation to the reunion of our old regiment- the 2d Iowa Cavalry. God knows I would like to be with you but as I am situated I cannot come; my finance will not permit and then my health is poorly. Age has crawled upon me just like the rest of . the boys that wore the blue, God bless you all, and then my step is not as firm as it was when we went South to whip the traitors who fired at our glorious banner, the stars and stripes. Yes dear comrades I love the old state of Iowa and all the boys that wore the blue. I grew up in Davenport and enlisted in

Seventh Reunion Second Iowa Cavalry.
Co. E 2d Iowa Cavalry at that place. Jim Metcalf was our captain during the latter part of the war. We were mustered out at Selma, Ala., and started home from there in October, '65. It seems but a few years since all this hap- pened. God bless all of you old gray headed coffee coolers; I can see all of you in Mississippi or Alabama standing around the camp fire shivering with a tin cup of coffee in one hand and a piece of sow belly and hard tack in the other. I left lowa 27 years ago, wandered around in the West for 20 years and finally settled down here at Baxter Springs, Kas I have a little bome here, a wife and a boy and girl. I draw a small pension and always have. something to eat. Well comrade Tom the old coffee coolers hold a reunion here every year and it has always been a grand success They say there were 16 obo of the old boys here this year This is where Quantrell and his band rode in with his black banner of death and murdered ios Union soldiers whi'e they were asleep Well comrade, I want you to register for me at your reunion " my old company comrades will know where lam Tell them I want them to write to me as I would be glad to hear from all of you I met two of the 2d here at the reunion Comrade Tom write to me; I will always be glad to hear from you or any of the old coffee coolers . As ever your comrade

Dear Comrade Anderson: - I would like to be with you but am over 2,000 miles away, in the north west part of the United States I would like to be with the boys to talk over old times. There is one more here who belonged to the old 2d. His name is Penfield and I think he belonged to Co L. We have a reunion here this week. I often think of some of the times in war and won- der if the comrade is there who helped me pull that old reb up to a limb with a rope at, I think, Collverville. I believe he belonged to Co C. Frank Stoddard knows all about it Frank got me into another scrape; as we were taking prisoners to exchange one rebel offleer got mulish and would not keep up Frank says, Peffer go back there and make that son-of-a-bitch come up. I rode bick and told him he must walk np and he gave me some Southern language bat would not walk up Frode up to the side of him, pulled my foot out of the stirrup and -- the official took a cramp in his side but straightened up and walked on He told me I would bite the dust before I left him but I still live and send my best respects to Co B and the old 2d lowa Cavalry one and all God bless you all I hope that some day it may be my privilege to meet with you and take you one and all by the hand. I would like very much to hear from you after the reunion and to hear how many of the old boys were there Good by Co. B. good by old zd Iowa Cavalry. L. 11 PEFFER.

T. T Anderson, Dear sir :-- I received a letter from Mr Allen, of Jackson, Miss:, notifying me of our next reunion of the old Co. K boys Owing to the distance and business it is impossible for me to meet them. It would be a Source of great satisfaction to me to meet them and shake hands in time of peace I have never had the pleasure of meeting one of them since the war. I think of them every day and if I never meet them in this werld. I hope to meet them above. I would love to sing with them "Rally Round the Flag" as we did at Nashville, Tenn There will be none of the okt Co K boys present but what remembers it Boys let me hear from you I am a man of a family, a wife and three children. My head is white as a sheep, but Iam thankful that I still live. I am a bad cripple, my left leg being broken I was shot on my
way home from the army, for services in the Union army, but no human bears it better than | I never saw the day that I regretted being a Yankee soldier. They may kill me ! But if they d > I shall wake up in a better world than this, I hope arrayed in the old blue uniform I am the same Thel. Head thal I al- ways was. I want you boys to remember me and after the reunion some of. you please send me a copy of the proceedings. THEALBERT II. HRAD.

T. T Anderson, Dear Comrade :-- I regret not being able to be present at the reunion, but on account of failing health and inability to walk, I cannot go. Hoping that all my old comrades will be there to enjoy themselves. I remain yours and will ask you to greet them for me. EEWARD KELLEY.
Kiowa, Kas., Sept. 27, '95
T T Anderson Dear Comrade :-- I am sorry that I cannot be with you at this reunion of the old regiment My heart was set on attending and for that iras mn I have put off answering your letter till the last moment thinking I would be able to go but I cannot. My heart is with you and may God bless all the contrades. I trust you will have a good time. Yours in F. C. & L. WM CARTER.
LARAMIE, Wyo., Sept. 24, '95.
T T Anderson, Dear Comrade :- I am very sorry I have to inform you that I am not able to come to the reunion. I had an accident July 18th, which nearly killed me. I have been laid np since that time and am unable to walk without the use of crutches As soon as I am able to ride on the train I shall and must go to Hot Springs, at Ogden, Utah. No one regrets more than I do that I cannot be with you The Davenport papers had the particulars of the accident at the time You have probably seen it. Now Tom give my best wishes to the boys and may their shadows never grow less
Yours as ever, G. SCHNITGER PIPER CITY, IELS, Sept 27, '95. T T. Anderson: - My Dear Sir I had hoped to be able to attend the 20 Iowa Cavalry reunion this year for my heart is as loyal and my interest is as great as that of any member of the regiment But I cannot be present. I wish you would say to the comrades of Co F that Charles F Dally and August Lawson of their company are buried at Vicksburgh and their graves are among the known. M. F. Collins left wounded at the same place and same time is buried at Corinth and his grave is among the unknown. The number of his grave however is beyond doubt 353. I came upon this information while following up an investigation as to the burial place of my father, Hugh Johnson, ot Co M whose grave is eithes 351 or 352 among the unknown in the National Cemetery at Corinth. 351 and 352 having been at first buried in the same grave atter the fight Feb 22, '64 north of West Point, Miss. With kindest wishes I am sincerely, WM. F. JOHNSON.

and wishing you and the boys a jolly good time, but for myself I am a little too feeble to join with you at present; another year I hope to be better. The hot weather has had its telling effect, more than it would have had in 61-65 when we had some get up to us. I remain yours, WM. H. THOMAS. WATRONS, N. M.
T. T. Anderson :- Dear Comrade. I am very sorry to say that I cannot be with you this year. Remember me to all the old boys and best wishes for a happy reunion. Yours truly, W. B. BRUNTON.
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH, Sept. 28, '95
Thos. T. Anderson :- My Dear Comrade. Your letter received some time ago informing me of the date of our next regimental reunion at Des Moines on the 2d and 3d proximo. I regret very much indeed to say that I find it impossi- ble to be with the boys on this occasion. I had intended to be with you at Des Moines but you know how it is, that we cannot always control our actions as we may wish, we being all, more or less, creatures of circumstances. Very important legal business will prevent my coming, as I shall be detained either here or at Denver, about that time. I learned a day or two since that our old comrade, Major Schintger, met with an accident at Larame a few days ago. which will no doubt prevent his being with you also. If I am living two years hence I will make a desperate effort to be with the "Boys". I am really be- ginning to feel that I am getting along in years and rapidly approaching the time when I shall knock at St. Peters gate for admittance to that eternal and peaceful camp on the other side, to which we will be so warmly welcomed by so many of our brave and gallant comrades whose boats have already landed on that unseen shore.
"And I sit and think when the sunset's gold Is flushing the river and hill, and shore, I shall one day stand by the waters cold And list to the sound of the boatsman's oar. I shall watch for a gleam of the flapping sail; I shall hear the boat as it gains the strand; I shall pass from sight with the boatman pale To the better shore of the spirit land I shall know our comrades gone before, And joyfully sweet will the meeting be, When over the river, the peaceful river The angel of death shall carry me."
I have sometimes wondered if St. Peter will say to me " Yes its all right Tay- lor, this is the place for you, just hitch that cavalry steed out there and step in." I have thought to how bad I would feel to know that I must leave my noble black charger on the outside. And I have many times thought that our good friend St. Peter ought to have a special pasturage for our noble compan- ions and that he should see that they were fed on the finest ambrosia, and to his rider he ought to
Give a harp with golden strings, A glittering robe and a pair of wings, And pass him in where the angels sing, And give him a seat up near the throne, And call up some angels to play their best. And let him enjoy the music and a peaceful rest
Ah, but I think I hear you say, "there now Comrade Taylor give us a rest," Well, I will boys if you will only promise me, that you will not forget, the faithful, kind, noble, but now silent old cavalry horse, that shared with you the excitement and dangers of so many of our daring and bloody affrays. And lastly, do not forget that there is always an indestructable and everlasting bond of love and sympathy existing for you all in the heart of your cemrade,
JOHN LU. TAYLOR.

Resolutions.
Resolved, That the action taken at the Muscatine reunion in relation to the banquet for reunions be seconded and that the whole matter of banquet or no banquet be left to the Executive Committee for their consideration.
The following presented by comrade Will Ed Tucker of Co. I was carried
Resolved, That we heartily urge upon the consideration of the coming legis lature the wise and patriotic proposition to celebrate the semi-centennial of the admission of Iowa as a State into the American Union, by the erection of a Memorial Building, adequate to the preservation of our historical archives and collections, mementos and relics of our wars, as well as of the soldiers and sailors and pioneer settlers of our state, thus linking together the dates of 1846 and 1896, and transmitting to those who come after us the amplest attainable materials of our proud history.
Resolved, That in our judgment the state can perform no grander duty at this time than thus to found a great historical museum, not less for the instruc- tion and benefit of all our people than as an act of justice too long delayed to those who have gone before or are now rapidly passing away.
Resolved, That in securing this end, we heartily invoke the aid of the press of Iowa and of military organizations throughout the state.
LIEUT. JACKSON C. SMITH.
WHEREAS .- We have learnend with sorrow of the death Oct. 4th, 1894; of Lieutenant Jackson C. Smith, late of Co. I, 2nd Iowa Cavalry, therefore
Resolved .- First, That we recognize in our deceased comrade a soldier of unflinching loyalty and an officer of ability and courage. As a citizen he was a man of good business ability and sterling Christian character.
Resolved .- Second, That we tender our heartfelt sympathies to our sister the bereaved wife and her family.
Resolved .- Third, That these resolutions be spread upon the records and a copy be handed to the bereaved.
J. B. ALBROOK, W. A. BURNAP, H. J. BENNETT. Com.
CAPT. S. A. BISHOP
WHEREAS .- An allwise Province has taken from the battle of life our beloved Captain S. A. Bishop, since our last biennial reunion, and,
WHEREAS .- Company I. is indebted for much of its efficiency to his superior ability as a drillmaster and tactician, therefore.
Resolved .- First, That we shall ever remember his fine soldierly qualities. While he was a rigid disciplinarian he recognized the rights and feelings of the humblest private. He provided at all times the best things possible for his men and when self denial became necessary he cheerfully shared the hardships incident to a soldiers life with the rank and file thus endearing him to all manly hearts.
Resolved, -Second, That while we "mourn with those that mourn," we would commend the surviving relatives and friends to the grace of Him who "notes the sparrows when they fall."

Resolved; That we deplore the absence of some of our comrades, detained by sickness and unavoidable sccurrences and we hereby extend to them our ear nest sympathy for the pleasures necessarily foregone; and sincerely hope that they may be privileged to meet their comrades in their 8th reunion .
Resolved. That we extend to the comrades who contributed so much to the pleasure of the occasion by the music rendered; to the ladies who so ably as- sisted; to the daily press of the city; to his honor the mayor of the city; and to the officers of the association, especially our efficient secretary, and his excel- lent wife for her assistance, our heartfelt thanks.
Resolved, That we extend to the Hon. Isaac Brandt and other liberal minded citizens of Des Moines our thanks for courtesies extended.
