In token of respect for his cherished memory the horse artillery and division staff will wear the military badge of mourning for thirty days, and the senior officer of the staff, Major Von Borck, will place his remains in the possession of his bereaved family, to whom is tendered, in behalf of the division, the assurance of the heartfelt sympathy in this deep tribulation.

J. E. B. Stuart. R. Channing Price, Major, and Assistant Adjutant-General. Report of Brigadier-General
