Dear Mrs. Jacob - Has the State Library a copy of the oration delivered at Gettysburg on Oct 3d 1889 by Col. (then General) Joshua Chamberlain, (The occasion was the erection of a monument to the XXth Maine) or a copy of the oration delivered at the same place on the same date by Capt. Howard L Prince, described as "the historian of the XXth Maine" ?

I imagine that these orations were printed in some memorial pamphlet for the "Johnny Rebs" quote from them.

Do let me know. With all good wishes, yours, Henry Beston
