74 OCEAN TO OCEAN ON HORSEBACK. 



It is only justice to the comrades of Posts 7 and 

 15 to say that on ray arrival in Boston they were 

 most cordial in their reception, most zealous in their 

 co-operation with my advance agents and most solicit- 

 ous for the success of my journey and its objects. In 

 short they were true comrades in the best sense of the 

 term, and my delightful sojourn in their generous and 

 patriotic city was largely due to their numerous cour- 

 tesies.
