"Harry's head is toward the west. and as the hill slopes east it will always be early to greet the morn ing sun this beautiful little green spot so quiet and so restful. This is one of the most beauti ful spots I have ever scon. His cof fin was enfurled in the American flag, and a great procession followed in his wake. "A famous French general spoke at the grave. The chaplain' held the ceremonies. It was a most pleasant day; no wind, and the sun's soft rays were an about. In Full Uniform "He was buried in full uniform and looked hapny and content. The regimental band was here. His rest ing place was decorated with flow ers and I have ordered a nico em ,blemrnade.:to be placed over, same that, will be permanent. "I am taking one rosebud and am pressing it to mail you when dry The French general praised him most highly. I shall try to get r translation of the rreneral's spepr to send you, and possibly a photo o' his resting place. He was all yor have pictured him to be.
