Written by Commander Woodward to an unknown general. Says he has been away and just received his invite. Says he tried to get quarters at the hotel but failed. Says he has "made up my mind that as Gettysburgh was about the only battle that the Army did not fall back on the Navy I would let them celebrate without the Navy, so I, think I will still let them have all the credit." The document is dated "June 25/8," which was assumed to be 1908 from adjacent documents in the file.
