8vo. One-page, approximately 65 words, in part: “ I’m complying with your request from the seat in the House of Representatives, on then very spot where I slept in the dark hours of 1861 when I came with the first troops to the City of Washington to save the National flag from being hauled down from the National Capitol!” Very good.
