Excerpt from Camp and Field Life of the Fifth New York Volunteer Infantry: Duryee Zouaves Alfred Davenport, Esq., New York: My Dear Sir: - Yours of the 4th is received. I am very glad to learn that you are engaged upon the history of the 5th New York. The gallant services of that admirable regiment on so many fields certainly merit being handed down, and form no unimportant portion of the history of the war. The pride and interest I have always felt in the regiment, since it first came under my command, will make your work dearly gratifying to me. Dear Sir: - I have received your note of the 14th inst informing me that you have undertaken the work of preserving the record of the 5th New York Infantry, and am greatly pleased to learn of your undertaking. Though my connection with the regiment was brief, extending only from April to July, 1861, I have always preserved the kindest memories of my friends and comrades of the Fifth, and felt pride in knowing that I had been a member of so gallant and distinguished an organization.
