An extract from the journal of the House of Representatives: "Resolved, that the thanks of the House are due, and are hereby tendered, to the five hundred and thirty soldiers from Pennsylvania who passed through the mob of Baltimore and reached Washington on the 18th day of April last, for the defence of the National Capitol." This was apparently printed for the surviving members of the First Defenders, and distributed at a 30th reunion gathering in 1891.
