"Please reserve two rooms; expect to arrive late this afternoon." That is the text of a message
received this afternoon by Hotel Bryan, from John Bell Hood, from Monroe, Louisiana, who is evidently
making the trip to Bryan overland. That he coming to the annual reunion of Hood's Texas Brigade is
evidenced by this message.
The following is a list of early arrivals here for the joint meeting of both Hood's and Green's Texas
Brigades: H. C. Fones, J. K. P. Hanna, Calvert; Mrs. Libbie Wade Cameron, Dallas; Gen. and Mrs. J.
