TQ A YALE SOLDIER.
Good-by to General Burt, on Leaving
His Brigade at Jacksonville.
On October 20, at Jacksonville, an
enthusiastic farewell was given to Gen.
Andrew S.-Burt, who at that time left —
his command of the First Brigade, Sec-
ond Division, Seventh Army Corps, to
go to Colorado to resume his regular
station as Colonel of the Twenty-Fifth
Regulars. Those taking particular part
in the good-by demonstration were the
officers and the men of the Second
Illinois. The following resolutions
were presented to Gen. Burt by Major
Purinton, the presentation taking place
in the lobby of the Windsor Hotel.
“To Brig.-Gen. Andrew S.. Burt,
United States Army, Camp Cuba Libre,
Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20, 1898.—Gen-
eral: On the occasion of your handing
over the command of the First Brigade,
Second Division, Seventh Army Corps,
to your successor, the officers and sol-
diers of the brigade cannot refrain from
respectfully expressing to you their
high sense of the uniform kindness and
consideration with which you have ever
treated them, and which you _ have
known how to combine so happily with
soldierly firmness and decision.
“You have succeeded in creating a
command second to none in drill, dis-
cipline, and military deportment, and
BRIGADIER GENERAL A. S. BURT.
which furnishes an example to other
brigades as regards the health, comfort,
and contentment of the officers and men
~ commanding it.
- “Tn sickness and in health, in rain or
sunshine, whether on the drill ground
or in the many perplexing details of
camp life, we have felt your guiding
hand, your prompt aid, and your wise
and judicious counsel.
“Circumstances have not permitted
us the privilege of sharing with you
the glories of the battlefield and show-
ing before an enemy the results of your
teaching, but be assured that if ever
such an opportunity shall offer, the bri-
gade which General Burt formed, or-
ganized, taught, and so carefully tended,
will so acquit itself as not to discredit
its old commander.
“In bidding you farewell, we respect-
fully beg your acceptance of a sword,
as a slight token of the affection and
admiration. that we feel for you, both
as an officer and a man. We shall fol-
low your future career with the friend-
liest interest, confident that should occa-
sion -arise you will surpass your. al-
ready distinguished record. Good-by,
General. You will always occupy a
warm place in the hearts of the First
Brigade—especially the Second Illinois
Regiment.”
The resolutions were signed by a
number of the officers of the regiment.
General Burt’s response is thus re-
ported by the Jacksonville Times-Union:
“That common phrase, ‘The heart is
too full for utterance,’ is indeed a true
one now. This is a very sad occasion
to me. I have formed in my associa-
tion with you, many friends. On my
part I have become as fond of you as
of a brother.
“I want you to remember always that
whenever I gave you the command
‘rest’ you had earned it. In my thirty-
six or thirty-seven years of military
experience I have held a great many
commands, and I know of none that
will live longer in my memory than
the Second Illinois. In separating, my
heart is almost broken. I have been
spoken of—and it is a modest boast—
as being a man of nerve, and I_ have
been in many tight places where I
needed my nerve, but to-night J—I—
5 PE .
For a moment the General’s voice fal-
tered, and then he continued:
“I don’t know as I will pursue that
thought. My ‘darling wish was to go
to Cuba with you, and I know that
when the time should come and I
would be in front of that brigade, and I
should call to you Illinois men and you
Tar Heels, ‘Come on, men,’ that you
would have gone through it, though it
had been very hell itself. Isn’t that
right?
“At times you may have thought that
I worked you too hard. It was all for
a purpose, to become, as you have, the
most efficient brigade, and I say, God
bless you and good luck to you all.”
