        HEAD QUARTERS 6th DIVISION U. P. M.}
                                                May 30th, 1855.     }
    Major General Wynkoop returns to the officers, Uniformed Volunteers and citizens of the 6th Division, his thanks for the kindness and attention shown himself and Staff during his last tour of inspection. He feels it an invidious task to particularize acts of attention, where the desire to exhibit kindly feeling was universal. But he would do injustice to the grateful recollections of himself and the officers of his Staff, were he not to name Col. C. D. Brodhead, Major Gregory and A. Edinger, Esq., of the 2nd Brigade,; General Fister, Col. Wollf, Majors Wintersteen, Leonard, Stewart, Brass, Sistey and Burnham, Captains Glasser and Sharkey, Lieutenants Freeby and T. P. Simpson, Quarter Master Painter, Pion�er, Thomas Sprowl, the leader and members of the Mauch Chunk Brass Band, the officers and members of the Marion Hose Company, and Messrs. Asa Packer, O. H. Wheeler, and our host Mr. Lentz of the 3d Brigade; Gen. Cake and Staff, Col. Frick, Major Bickle, Adjutant Hipple and the Captains and Officers of the several Companies of the 1st Brigade which were reviewd by him, as those to whom he and his Staff are under especial obligations. Their welcome individually and as officers was all the soldier's heart could wish for or desire. He takes this opportunity to commend the officers and men throughout the entire division for their soldier-like bearing, their skill in tactics and intimate knowledge of Military science. In conclusion he sincerely trusts the 6th Division may long continue the best equipped, best drilled and most soldierlike in the State.
                                                         GEO. C. WYNKOOP,
                                          Major General 6th Div. U. P. M.
