12 July 1897

Hudgins, F. L., fl. 1897

Autograph letter signed

Title: to Miller A. Wright

The heading reads "Capt. Miller A. Wright" (Miller is referred in accordance with his actual military rank of Colonel in all other correspondence after his promotion). Mr. Hudgins was remarkably unaware of the status of the man who he comfortably addresses as "Dear Comrade". Letter notifying Miller that there will be no change of date for the "reunion," presumably one for civil war veterans. Other information concerning the reunion is also provided.
