Head-Quarters Armies of the United States,

May 14^th 1867.

 

Dear Sir:

            Your letter of the 13^th inviting me to visit Gettysburg some time in June to meet the "Board of Commissioners" is received. It has been my desire to visit the "Battlefield of Gettysburg" ever since the close of the rebellion; but it has so happened that when others were going who I wanted to accompany other engagements prevented. I will be but too glad to meet the / Commissioners there any time after the 16^th of June.

                                                                                   

Yours Truly

U. S. Grant

 

To

David Wills,

Pres. Soldiers National Cemetery

Gettysburg, P^a
