Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Addresses and Papers "My Friends and Neighbors, - I hardly know what to say, to properly express my thanks in behalf of my command, for this warm and enthusiastic reception, the kind and earnest greeting you have extended to us to-day. You have added one more obligation to the many that are due our friends for the constant succession of favors, for the numberless expressions of friendship and sympathy we have received during our absence; and I assure you that the knowledge that we were watched over and cared for by our friends at home has lightened many a load, and revived many a dropping spirit, work out almost with labor and disease. "Friends, we bring to you no laurels won on the battlefield; for although always placed in the post of danger, although it seems always to be assigned to Massachusetts to form the advance guard in every expedition of danger and of labor, we have passed through unharmed; and, when I look around on this happy gathering, I thank God that is is so! I thank God that no wife will look in vain for the form of one she loves; no father or mother will search in vain for their son; that no child has been bereft of the care and love of a father; but that they are all here, (many of us worn and weary I know,)that every fireside will be made glad by the return of husband, parent, and son, who had been so tremblingly watched, so anxiously waited for!
