On the 28th of November, 1878, being Thanksgiving Day, at an immense mass-meeting composed of representatives of all classes of the lately returned people of Memphis, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, We, the citizens of Memphis, who were absent during the recent pestilence, mindful of the individual heroism displayed in behalf of our deeply-afilicted people, and of the generosity, consideration, and aid extended to them by a sympathetic world, desire to testify our appreciation in a manner which will not only prove acceptable, but in a way by which it will be sure to reach all those to whom we owe so much; therefore, on this the 28th day of November, 1878 - a day set apart by the President of the United States, and by the Governor of this State, as one of thanksgiving and prayer - we, deeming such day and such time most appropriate, and being in solemn mass-meeting assembled, do hereby publicly express our gratitude - First, - To the President of the United States, the Secretary of War, and other members of his cabinet.
