Atlanta, Georgia, January 5, 1904.
The following resolutions were read and adopted at a meeting of Camp Tige Anderson, January 5, 1904.
Whereas, This Camp has heard with sincerest regret of the death of our lamented comrade General James Longstreet; and
Whereas, We recognize and remember General Longstreet’s heroic and valiant services to our beloved cause.
Resolved, That we will revere his memory as one of the best of the friends of the South, one of her best warriors bold—one of her truest sons.
Resolved, That we bow with uncovered heads at the Reaper’s call.
Resolved, That in the death of our comrade we have lost a true and tried friend, and while the majority of us were of an averse political opinion to that of the General, yet we are generous enough to accord him the right and the fidelity of party affiliation, particularly so when we believe that environments when times tried men’s souls were a terrific pressure brought to bear upon him.
As a Camp and as individuals our prayer is that our late commander may “requiescat in pace.”
Resolved, That our commander appoint a delegation to attend the funeral of General Longstreet, at Gainesville, Georgia, to-morrow, as an official escort from this Camp.
Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent by our adjutant to the family of our deceased comrade.
