EULOGY

The Eulogy upon General Taylor will be delivered at 4 o'clock this
afternoon at the City Hall, by A. Lincoln, Esq., in obedience to
the request of the Council, and of citizens.

The Committee of Arrangements took action immediately following the
address and on the same day made formal request of Mr. Lincoln for a
copy of the address for publication. The committee's letter and
Lincoln's reply were both printed in full:

As was fitting, the committee turned over the manuscript to "The

and apologized with a statement that postponement of the remainder was

complete. The type used in the Saturday issue remained standing and the
remainder of the Eulogy was set up, and joined to it.
