Signed "Gib." Discusses the recent funeral of a General (possibly Harvey Brown, for whom Hunt had written a memorial). Writes "These old veterans who have been spent all & heartily for the country do make material for high eulogy, apart from personal peculiarities or mode of action; - but lucky is he for whom there is a voice to pronounce it, and in the General's case so well & justly." Laments the recent death of General Joseph Abel Haskin. A pencil note indicates that this letter does not appear to be written by John Gibbon.
