Mr. H. E. Webber, Salem, Mass.
Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 23rd inst. received. I remember the arrival of the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment at Camp George H. Thomas, Chickamauga Park, Georgia, and assigned it on report of its colonel to the Second Brigade, Third Division, First Army Corps. Colonel W. A. Pew, Jr., commanded this regiment at that time, and afterwards served under my command in Cuba. I can say that I thought very highly of the regiment. It was in good discipline, well instructed, good soldiers in fact, and it gives me pleasure to bear this testimony through the regiment, its officers and soldiers.
I am, Sir,
Very truly yours,
