to the 2d Brigade, 2d Division, 4th Army Corps. June 5th it was placed
in the 2d Brigade of the 3d Division, commanded by General Guy V. Henry,
and was sent forward to Fernandina, Florida. The regiment was honored by
visits from Governor Black of New York, Governor Shaw of Iowa, and
Secretary of War Alger, and took part in the general review of the 4th
Corps, at Huntsville, Alabama, September 23, 1898. Impressed with the
appearance of the regiment upon this occasion, the Brigade Commander
addressed the following note of congratulation to Colonel Duffy:
“_My dear Colonel_:
“I desire to express my admiration of the magnificent appearance made
by your regiment today. The Sixty-ninth is certainly a fine example of
the volunteer soldier, and you can well, with your brother officers,
feel proud of so efficient a regiment. Promptness is the foundation of
all military efficiency; your command was halted in position assigned
for the formation for review exactly on time. With best wishes for
yourself and splendid command.
“Respectfully,
“(Signed) JAMES RUSH LINCOLN,
“_Brigadier General Vols._”
