Thanks Hunt for the memorial he wrote after the death of her father, Harvey Brown. Writes "... we, Father's nearest and dearest, feel that full justice has been done... and that your writing his record has given additional honor to his memory. The paper will ever be to us a dear and precious possession... we were glad you dwelt upon his services in Mexico and at Pickens- for later events seemingly obscured them, and yet as I read your account of those time- I feel that there is something to be very proud of." Written on black-bordered mourning stationery. Envelope possibly accompanies GLC02382.207. Harvey Brown served in the United States Army 5th Light Artillery during the Civil War. He was promoted Brigadier-General 23 November 1861 by brevet at Fort Pickens, Florida, and Major-General 2 August 1866.
