The artillery defenders of Fort Gregg.
New Orleans, August 20, 1891. Mr. R. A. Brock, Secretary Southern Historical Society, Richmond, Va.:
dear Sir: I observe in the last volume of the Southern Historical Society Papers (XVIII) sent me several communications from General James H. Lane in reference to the actions of his brigade on different fields and and occasions, that the old question as to the defenders of Fort Gregg is again revived.

It was organized December 29, 1831, with Chief-Justice Marshall as its first president.
It is honored now in a triumvirate of directive officers, whom Richmond values for their excellences.
The second of these is your own loved president, the chief herald of the cause of education in our teeming republic.
