PERSONAL SKETCHES.
following was written from Headquarters, 3d Brigade, Ist Division, 24th Army Corps, to friends of Captain Lawrence in Maine : " Ile fell in one of the assaults of the enemy on the Eleventh, while the regiment was holding the rebel earthworks, which it had cap- tured an hour before. He was at the time in charge of the left wing of the regiment, assigned to it after Lieutenant-Colonel Hill was wounded. 'Now, boys, steady ! Pick your man !' he said to his men as the charging line of rebels neared the front of- the regiment. The words were hardly uttered before he was struck down by a rebel bullet, shot through the chest. Captain Law- rence won his way to the Captaincy by his zeal and efficiency, proving himself one of the very best officers in the regiment. As Orderly Sergeant, be was intrusted with the command of his company throughout the Peninsula campaign, and his conduct was such that his rapid promotion was deemed but a fitting reward of his gallant and meritorious services. In the campaign of 1863, before Charleston, and the present one before Richmond, he was a most reliable and trusted officer, distinguished for his coolness and bravery in action. In the Battle of Bermuda Hun- dred, June 2, he had command of two companies, the center of the line, and fought them with admirable skill and effect. No one could have behaved more gallantly. His clothes were strangely cut up by bullets, and yet he came out unscathed. Captain Lawrence was a true patriot and gallant soldier. He expected. as he sometimes said, to give his life in this struggle. He had just been home, had seen his friends, and, 'Now,' said he, ' I am ready for the campaign.' It was his firm resolve, well understood, never to turn his back to the traitors. He never did. When he fell his brave boys gathered around him, lamenting his fall with many tears. He rebuked them, saying with emphasis : ' It is no worse for me to die for my country than any other man !' The name of Lawrence has received new luster in the heroic death of this gallant young officer."
