Peyton, former members of General Lee's staff; Colonel William Allan of St it.

Johnston, called the assemblage to order,nd Lexington will never see such a day again, because the world will never know another Robert Lee. At the close of Father Ryan's recitation, a procession was formed on the platform, which was headed by General Early and Major Daniel, Judge McLau

Mr. Valentine is, it must be remembered, only forty-one years old, and can hardly be said to have yet attlemen this simple expression of our body, letting them know how cordially we appreciate their high-toned proposals? Commending the entire enterprise and all identified with it to God's favor and blessing, I am truly your friend and brother in Christ, W. N. Pendleton, Chairman Executive Committee. The removal from the studio to the depot on the afternoon of April the 13th, 1875, was thus described in the Richmond Dispatch of the next day: This event attracted to the neighborhood of
