Chapter V: Part 5

Together we have shared dangers and hardships, victories and defeats;
and it is hard now for us to part; but in the natural order of things,
the war being over, you go towards your homes in the west, we stay near
ours in the east. Let us not, however, though separated by thousands of
miles, forget these old associations. Let us rather cherish them with
the fondest recollections: let it be a story to hand down to our
children and children's children, how the Second Massachusetts and
Third Wisconsin fought shoulder to shoulder through the great
rebellion, and achieved together glory and renown. We ask you to accept
this testimonial as a slight evidence of our affection and esteem. We
bid you farewell, and God bless you, one and all,

Third Wisconsin V. V. Infantry,
Camp Slocum, near Washington, D. C.
June 7, 1865.

To the officers of the Second Massachusetts Veteran Volunteer
Infantry:

The undersigned, officers of the Third Wisconsin Veteran Volunteer
Infantry, tender their heartfelt thanks for your friendly communication
of the 4th inst. It was with mingled feelings of pride and pleasure,
not, however, unmixed with pain, that we perused it--pride at being
thus associated with a regiment, which by patient endurance, good
discipline, and unflinching bravery, has won for itself so honorable a
name as the Second Massachusetts; pleasure at the thought that, even
amid the stirring scenes of active war, the finer attributes of
humanity are not forgotten, and that friendship, one of the noblest
sentiments of the soul, still asserts her claims; pain at the
recollection of the many gallant and brave, whose names have been
associated with yours in the great struggle now happily terminated,
but who have given their lives for a country they loved so well.

That "every rose has its thorn" was never more apparent to us than
now. While in the toil and suffering of our active campaigns, we have
looked forward with unmixed joy to the time when the angel of peace
should once more spread her wings over the land, and we should return
home to enjoy the sweets of social and civil life, but now that the
hour is at hand when we must say farewell to those with whom we have
been associated in the service of our common country, when we must join
the parting hand with you, our companions and brothers in arms, our joy
is mingled with sadness and our smiles with tears.

We accept your communication, not only as a manifestation of personal
regard, but also as a fraternal greeting from the east to the west,
which rising superior to local jealousies and factional strife, and
remembering only the mingled dust of our dead on many battlefields, and
the common country for which they sacrificed their all, proclaims us,
in heart and in country, one and inseparable.

In parting, we assure you that, highly as we prize this expression of
sentiment toward us, and sacredly as we will preserve it as the highest
honor yet received, it is not needed to secure remembrance. The
ineffaceable pictures of the past deeply engraven in our hearts, and
lit up by the eternal flame of friendship will ever keep the Second
Massachusetts Veteran Volunteer Infantry prominent among our pleasing
memories in the future.

Wishing you all success and happiness and Heaven's best blessing, we
bid you farewell. We are, brothers, yours fraternally,

George W. Stevenson, Lieutenant-Colonel; Warham Parks, Major; J. G.
Conley, Surgeon; T. J. Kopff, Assistant Surgeon; A. C. Taylor,
Adjutant; J. T. Marvin, Quartermaster; I. E. Springer, Chaplain.
Captains--Ralph Van Brunt, Julian W. Hinckley, N. Daniels, E.
Giddings, A. D. Haskins, C. R. Barager, J. Woodford, John M.
Schweers, John E. Kleven. First Lieutenants--Stephen Lieurance,
Oliver A. Hegg, J. D. Goodrich, John Agnew, John B. Du Bois, Abner
Hubbell, J. D. Babcock, W. W. Freeman, George H. Cutter. Second
Lieutenants--E. V. Moran, Lewis Colby, Edwin F. Proctor, Elon G.
Biers, David Clark, A. S. Hill.

The Western veteran regiments still had work before them, and were not mustered out. They were organized as a provisional Brigade under Hawley's command, and ordered to Louisville, Kentucky. Our Regiment left the east on June 11, travelling by way of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to Parkersburg, and then down the Ohio River to Louisville. Here the Regiment was filled up with men from other Wisconsin commands, that were mustered out of service, until we had about 1,500 on our muster rolls. It was rumored, and in fact intended, that we should go to Mexico to drive out the French. The programme was entirely changed, however, when news came of the voluntary withdrawal of the French soldiers, and orders were issued to muster out our Regiment.

A considerable number of our old veterans did not want to go home. A company was made up of those who wished to enter the services of the Juarez government in Mexico--at least they wished to go, if I would go in command. I was not quite ready, however, to become a soldier of fortune. When our duty to the Federal Government had been accomplished, I was as anxious as any to be mustered out of the army of war, and return to the army of peace.
